WATERMELON RIDDIM produced by STARPLAYER RECORDS 2011
Watermelon Overview
In 2011, the Watermelon Riddim made its mark on the roots reggae scene. The project’s journey began in the studio with arranger Karl Morrison, whose skills shaped the riddim’s rocksteady flow. Morrison is well known for his smooth production style, and on this project, he brought together a blend of classic reggae sounds and modern harmonies. The release came under STARPLAYER RECORDS, a label with a growing reputation for promoting conscious reggae music. STARPLAYER RECORDS had already begun to draw attention in the reggae world, supporting artists who focus on uplifting and message-driven songs. On the Watermelon Riddim, each artist added their own flavor. Da Real Bommer delivered “Hard Times,” a song that reflects real struggles, while G Mack contributed “Suffer We A Suffer,” bringing heartfelt lyrics to the riddim. Karl Morrison himself recorded “Speeechless,” sharing the track with Kevin Bommer, and together they created a memorable vocal blend. Lutan Fyah, respected for his work with artists like Luciano and for his album "Phantom War," added “Tangled Up,” giving the project a roots anthem. Fans quickly connected the Watermelon Riddim to the 2011 roots revival, and selectors kept it in rotation at festivals. The project’s mix of artists and harmonies helped it stand out, making it a favorite for both longtime reggae listeners and new fans.
