HOTTT-ED New Reggae Riddim ►►► King Majesty 2014 ft. Busy Signal and More!

DJ Karim is one of the best who put out his best, with the best, and the result is the King Majesty Riddim 2014.  Not to be confused, the riddim is not based on the Queen Majesty riddim (think Dennis Brown), instead, the riddim is a hybrid of classic Dancehall. 

Leading the riddim run is Busy Signal.  You may have heard some of the controversy brewing over his chune “Real Talk;” if you have, the real talk comes from one of Busy’s 2 chunes on the riddim.  In the chune, Busy takes aim at a fellow artist (not hard to guess who), and says:  “singer nah fih ah war Bounty (Killer) / real talk / nuh memba when him bruk and him hungry / real talk / and beg dih bills and dih 50 / real talk / tell him nuh be ah ungrateful pickney / real talk / memba money caan change we / real talk / we nuh frighten fih Benz or Bugatti / real talk / memba dis dog … ah Killer (Bounty) did start we / real talk / help nuff ghetto yute outta poverty / real talk ….”  M-E-R-C-Y! 

When you combine these lyrics with the structure of the riddim and the way Busy rides the riddim, you will understand why the chune is so impactful.  The drum pattern is digitized as is the bass line (think a very loose similarity to Steely and Clevie), and the accents sound like a digitized cowbell.  Believe me when I say, the music is brilliant.  Bravo to DJ Karim getting this 100% right! 

Additional artists on the riddim are:  Franz Capone / Kiprich / Kananga / Major Mackrel.  Big up Major who deals with the riddim wickedly!
