At any given time, ten to fifteen riddims are widely used in dancehall recordings, but only two or three of these are the now ting (i.e., the latest riddims that everyone must record over if they want to get them played in the dance or on radio). "Riddims are the primary musical building blocks of Jamaican popular songs. Thus, for example, "Diwali" is the name not of a song, but of a riddim created by Steven "Lenky" Marsden, subsequently used as the basis for several songs, such as Sean Paul's " Get Busy" and Bounty Killer's "Sufferer." Since the 1980s, however, riddims started to be originally composed by producers/beatmakers, who give the riddims original names and, typically, contract artists to voice over them. Some classic riddims, such as "Nanny Goat" and "Real Rock" both produced by Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, are essentially the accompaniment tracks of the original 1960s reggae songs with those names.
The unique nature of dancehall and riddims have been highly influential on the numerous remixes that now circulate throughout R&B and hip-hop music.
Through proper registration, many artists now work on negotiating their royalties and taking it more seriously. There is a unique establishment in the combination of riddims and voicing.īy 1993, Jamaica finally established a copyright act, but producers still face difficulty in establishing profit. As seen in dancehall music, there is a voicing part – sung by the DJ – over some riddim that has probably been widely used in many other songs. Since the 1970s, riddims have accompanied reggae music and through the 1980s, more widely known as dancehall.

Bam-world premiere! And the reason of course is that the riddim is dropping to iTunes, Amazon etc. End result, I've had copies of all the tunes above to juggle around with and amuse myself in the Ghetto Palms lab for the last few weeks-but agreed to keep them under wraps until today. Next day, Max Glazer and everydamnbody was talking it up and before I knew he had relinked me with Jeremy, who I probably hadn’t seen since the Sean Paul cover I did for Trace magazine a few years back. I first caught rumors of the City Life from Heatwave’s Dan Bean. Tarrus Riley, “Who is Responsible” (2Hard)Įlephant Man, “Let Me Be the Man” (2Hard) For another thing: Tony Rebel!Īssassin, “Something’s Got to Give” (2Hard) For one thing, City Life sounds like electronic music and sounds like old school reggae at the same time and that alone is rewriting some of the rules that have made things so stiff-up lately. This beat answers some of the concerns I’ve had about Jamaican music in 2010-namely that it’s often positive or has an edge to it, but not both.
