THINGS AND TIME RIDDIM produced by JAMMYS RECORS 1999
Things And Time Overview
In 1999, reggae was exploring new sounds while staying true to roots. The dub version on this set fits the year well — it uses deep bass and echo, blending the old with the new. This was a time when sound systems loved heavy rhythms and conscious lyrics. Behind the board, JAMMYS RECORS shaped the sound. The label, run by King Jammy, is known for classic digital reggae and dancehall hits since the 1980s. King Jammy helped launch the digital era with the "Sleng Teng" riddim, and his productions often returned to roots and dub, as heard in this set. Admiral Tibett brings his thoughtful voice to "Leave People Business," reminding listeners of his reputation for conscious lyrics. Bushman delivers "Whats The Matter With The World," adding his rootsy tone. Bushman’s debut album, "Nyah Man Chant," made waves in the late 1990s, and his voice shines here too. Candy Man’s "Nothing Gonna Change" offers smooth delivery, while Colin Roach sings "Fine 100 Ways," showing the singer’s knack for melody. Delroy Smart’s "As Long As You Love Me" brings a classic lovers rock feeling. Each artist adds their own style but fits the riddim’s foundation. In 1999, this set echoed the conscious vibes of the time, filling sound systems with culture and strong messages. The music and artists together created a moment that reggae fans still remember.
