THE WHIP RIDDIM REFIX – LUV MESSENGER PRODUCTIONS 2016
The Whip Overview
The Whip Riddim began as an idea rooted in classic reggae traditions. The craftsman behind this riddim wanted to keep the original reggae structure alive, focusing on deep basslines and steady, uplifting percussion. Every detail was carefully shaped to honor the roots sound, while giving space for each artist to shine. The producer, Dubiterian, is known for his work in modern dub and roots reggae, always bringing a rich, organic sound to his projects. As the riddim took shape, it attracted respected voices from the reggae scene. The Ethiopians, a legendary group with hits like “Train to Skaville,” brought their timeless style to the track “The Whip.” Their history in reggae gave the riddim a strong foundation. Admiral Tibet, celebrated for his conscious lyrics and songs like “Serious Time,” added “Never Stop Trying,” delivering a message of hope and persistence. Mark Wonder, known for albums such as “Working Wonders,” contributed “Troubled World,” using his soulful voice to reflect on the challenges people face. Uton Green, with his rootsy delivery, offered “Life Is A Cycle,” a song about the ups and downs of life. Elijah Prophet, who has worked with many top producers, shared “Leaders Of Tomorrow,” focusing on the next generation’s potential. Dubiterian closed the set with “Dub Them,” giving listeners a pure dub version that highlights the riddim’s heartbeat. Released in 2016, The Whip Riddim became a cultural touchstone in 2021, celebrated for its authentic sound and the unity of roots artists it brought together.
