Weekend Overview

Digital B is the label behind the dub version of the Weekend Riddim, a reggae sound that made its mark in 1997.

The label became a key player in the 1990s, bringing a fresh digital edge to Jamaican music. The Weekend Riddim featured a strong lineup of talent. Jack Radics delivered "Wish It Was Me," adding his smooth voice to the project. John Holt, a legendary singer who was once the lead vocalist of The Paragons, brought "Give A Little Love." Little Kirk, known for his early start in reggae and his connection as the younger brother of Beenie Man, contributed "Spread Your Love." Morgan Heritage, a family band that won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 2016, added "Love Jah" to the lineup. Neisha K gave her touch with "Weekend." Each song brought something unique, but the classic reggae feel tied them together. Roots selectors in 1997 often reached for this riddim during cultural events, drawn to its timeless sound. The dub cut, produced by Digital B, stands as a piece of reggae history from that year, remembered for its strong rhythms and respected voices.
