THE SEA LOTS RIDDIM produced by FIREHOUSE CREW 2013
The Sea Lots Overview
In 2013, reggae fans were treated to a one drop riddim that stood out for its rootsy style and modern energy. The Sea Lots Riddim brought back the deep, steady drum and bass pattern that roots lovers always mention when talking about that year. This one drop base helped the tracks feel both classic and fresh, fitting right into the reggae scene of the time. The arrangement on this set gave space for the message and culture in each song. Behind it all was the producer, FIREHOUSE CREW. Known for their work in the reggae industry since the late 1980s, FIREHOUSE CREW has produced music for many respected artists and are recognized for their solid, authentic sound. Their label has been a home to roots and dancehall projects, helping to keep reggae’s foundation strong. Collis Duranty’s track, "When You Know It’S Love," brought heartfelt lyrics and smooth delivery, matching the riddim’s spirit. Machel Montano & Morgan Heritage came together for "I See Lots," a rare collaboration that blended Montano’s soca energy with Morgan Heritage’s roots harmonies. Morgan Heritage, known for their Grammy-winning album "Strictly Roots," added an extra layer of credibility to the release. Positive’s "Preserve The Youths" focused on upliftment, while Prophet Benjamin’s "The Most Beautiful" added a personal, poetic touch. FIREHOUSE CREW themselves closed the set with "The Sea Lots Riddim Version," letting the music shine on its own. Looking back, this riddim’s one drop base and conscious lyrics made it a favorite among roots fans, capturing the sound of 2013 reggae in a memorable way.
