TRAIL BLAZER RIDDIM produced by FOCUS MUSIC 2014
Trail Blazer Overview
The Trail Blazer Riddim from 2014 brought together some powerful voices in reggae. Anthony B, known for his classic song “Raid the Barn” and albums like “Real Revolutionary,” gave us “Taking Over” on this project. Lutan Fyah, who once worked with VP Records and has been active in reggae since the early 2000s, contributed “Treat You Right.” Hero added “Gun Thing,” while Nateesha Stream sang “Do You Know.” Sizzla, a Grammy-nominated artist famous for “Praise Ye Jah,” delivered “Miss You Like Crazy.” Each artist added their own style and message to the riddim. The riddim’s rocksteady flow is what makes it special. The rhythm is steady and warm, with a classic roots reggae sound. The basslines are deep, the drums are sharp, and the melodies are rich. It’s the kind of beat that brings out the best in each singer. The harmonies run through every track, giving the whole project a united feel. Behind it all is FOCUS MUSIC, a label known for working with conscious reggae artists and keeping roots reggae alive in the modern era. FOCUS MUSIC has produced several respected riddims and tracks, always focusing on quality and message. Their work on Trail Blazer Riddim made sure the positive energy and cultural messages stayed strong. This project is a good example of roots reggae in 2014. It mixes culture, unity, and message, with artists who care about their craft. For reggae fans, Trail Blazer Riddim is still fresh and worth a listen.
