THE ROADBLOCK RIDDIM produced by ZIGEDUB PRODUCTIONS 2023

The Roadblock Overview

The Roadblock Riddim, released in 2023, added a strong voice to the year’s roots reggae music. Produced by ZIGEDUB PRODUCTIONS, this set stands out for its classic reggae sound. The riddim uses foundation-style rhythms, which means it brings back the style and feel of reggae from earlier decades. This musical backdrop is different from some of the digital-heavy or pop-influenced riddims that were also popular in 2023. Instead, the Roadblock Riddim focuses on live instruments, steady drum and bass, and a warm, vintage vibe. Roger Robin shines on the track “She Rocks.” Known for his earlier hit “Take It Slow,” Roger Robin’s smooth vocals fit perfectly with the riddim’s relaxed groove. Peter Spence brings his soulful voice to “Dirty Life.” Peter Spence has been active in the UK reggae scene for decades and is respected for his work with artists like Maxi Priest. Jah Device’s “It A Go Dread” adds a conscious message, keeping with reggae’s tradition of social commentary. Shamir Tadeiya contributes “Count Me In,” showing a fresh approach while staying true to roots reggae. Sherida Sharpe’s “Smile” brings uplifting energy, and Publik Report’s “No I Cant” and Exilent’s “Crazy Love” round out the set with unique styles. ZIGEDUB PRODUCTIONS is known for its focus on roots reggae and has built a loyal following by keeping the genre’s classic sound alive. In 2023, the Roadblock Riddim helped carry reggae’s message forward, offering listeners a taste of both tradition and new talent.
