    Old School Reggae Dancehall Hit Riddims

    The classic riddims that built the music.

    These are the foundation riddims — the classic reggae and dancehall riddims that shaped everything that came after. From rocksteady and roots to the early digital dancehall of the 1980s and 90s, these are the beats that built sound system culture.

    Many are still voiced, remixed and sampled today. Timeless riddims, endless versions.
