Blakkwuman22 Music Releases New Dancehall Compilation “Restart Riddim”

Restart Riddim is a four-track dancehall compilation that features new music from Peppery, Sherida Sharpe, I-Talawah and Karamanti. The project, which was released at the end of November, comes to us courtesy of Blakkwuman22 Music.

The idea for the record was conceptualized after the label shared the first single from Karamanti’s upcoming album, Start With A Prayer, and noticed that the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Everybody that heard the track fell in love with it; and several artists inquired about voicing on the instrumental. However, after careful deliberation the Blakkwuman22 Music team decided to go with the aforementioned performers.

The beat for the Restart Riddim was built by Lamar Thompson, exclusively for Blakkwuman22 Music. And all the artists wrote their respective songs, with the exception of the title track, which although sung by Sherida Sharpe, was written by Karamanti.

The objective of this and all other projects on the Blakkwuman22 Music label is to purposefully restore positivity back into Jamaican dancehall music.

It is said that there are literally hundreds of new reggae songs released on a daily basis. This number continues to grow, especially as technology advances, giving untrained music enthusiasts the ability to create their own sound.

This new day and age that we live in has its advantages and disadvantages. One of the unfortunate things about having access to so many new tunes on an ongoing basis is that the really great songs can, and does sometimes get lost in the crowd. 

One such song is Dwight Pinkney‘s rendition of The Train is Coming; featured on Upstairs Music‘s latest reggae compilation with the same name. 

Although this beautiful instrumental is being recognized and celebrated by persons within the reggae industry, many are of the belief that it ought to be exposed to a wider audience so that its charming and seductive melodies can be fully appreciated by true reggae lovers.

Dwight‘s decades of musical experiences are embodied in this one record. From his entry into the industry in the 60s with the group The Sharks, to his countless shows and studio sessions with the likes of Bunny Wailer, Coxsone Dodd, Toots Hibbert and other legendary reggae artists and producers. One of Dwight Pinkney‘s most recognized works to date is How Could I Live, which has been covered by many artists including the great Dennis Brown. That being said, his interpretation of The Train Is Coming is arguably among his best, as far as instrumental goes.
