ZION WAY RIDDIM produced by VIS RECORDS 2022
Zion Way Overview
The Zion Way Riddim came together in the studio with a strong focus on roots reggae. The musicians worked closely with the arranger, who wanted to create a sound that was both deep and easy to listen to. The arranger brought in traditional reggae instruments, such as steady drums, smooth basslines, and gentle guitar riffs. This helped the riddim keep its meditative and laidback feeling, while also making space for each artist’s unique voice. Behind the scenes, VIS RECORDS produced the Zion Way Riddim.
