TOP SHELF RIDDIM produced by WALSHY FIRE 2018
Top Shelf Overview
Top Shelf Riddim added a strong roots reggae sound to 2018. The project was produced by Walshy Fire, a well-known name in Caribbean music. Walshy Fire is part of Major Lazer, a group famous for mixing reggae, dancehall, and electronic music. He is known for bringing different cultures together in his productions, and Top Shelf Riddim is another example of this. The recording process for this riddim focused on live instruments and a classic roots feel. The musicians created a warm, sun-filled sound that set the stage for each artist’s unique style. The arrangements kept the vibe relaxed but powerful, giving the riddim a lasting presence. Cocoa Tea, a veteran reggae singer famous for songs like “Good Life” and “Rikers Island,” brought his smooth voice to the track Medical Marijuana. His experience and positive message fit the riddim perfectly. Takke added Blessed Morning, delivering uplifting lyrics on top of the roots foundation. Queen Omega, known for her strong presence in reggae and soca, contributed Roots Daughter Flex, highlighting her powerful vocals and conscious lyrics. Fyakin’s I & I Story added another layer, with his thoughtful approach and roots energy. Buzzrock’s We Deya kept the spirit of unity alive, matching the riddim’s warm, inviting sound. The Expanders offered their version with Top Shelf, while Sean Taylor added both Shelf Top and Top Shelf, bringing his own style to the project.
