Tad’s Record is pleased to announce the release of Big Rock Riddim, a new take on the Real Rock Riddim which was originally released in the 1960s.

The featured artist on this various artist compilation is Brigadier Jerry, one of the great Jamaican artists of the 80s. Briggy, graces the album with his superb rendition of Weh Dem Ago Do, which he also wrote. The lyrics of the song easily ride the rhythm and leaves listeners bobbing their heads to this Raggamuffin tune.

This juggling also showcases other note-worthy talents such as Richie spice, Chezidek, D-Medz, Anthony Cruz, Teflon, and Hezron.

As an anthem riddim in Reggae, all disc jockeys must have this release as a part of their collection to spin and create the highly demanded feel of the original dancehall sound system period of Reggae music. This album is available for sale on   iTunes,   Amazon,   Spotify, and all digital platforms worldwide.
