We Don't Like 'Gunman' But We'll Sing About Them!

Depending on your musical taste, you either love it when an old riddim is re-made, or you regret taking time to even listen to a minute of a riddim that has been remade, especially when the riddim is a classic, and one of historic significance.

The Gunman Riddim, made famous in 1980 by Michael Prophet who recorded the historic track “Gunman” with Henry ‘Junjo’ Lawes on the Volcano label, is one that in my opinion should not be tampered with, unless your name is Raggamuffin Entertainment aka Babbzy!

Yes friends, my Bajan colleague who knows music like Michael Jordan knows Basketball, has released this riddim featuring singers with voices respected by Angels.  Seriously!  Artists you may have never heard of take center stage and deliver music that will have you rocking and swaying, not to mention your listeners!

Devine Songz song “Under the Covers” is a hit with the ladies, Jah Powaz sing-jays the song “Watch” which is a warning to people unaware of how some are plotting to take what they have.  Mavriq’s “Abomination Town” questions how one can rise when they’re born as a curse – powerful lyrics, and rising Star Tabitha questions the need for “War.”  Each song cleverly includes the term ‘gunman’ in each song; K-A-B-O-O-M!  Each chune on the riddim is the cream of the crop.

Ready for your music player, here's the 2015 production of the Gunman Riddim produced by Raggamuffin Entertainment.
