The Country Bus Riddim, produced by Chimney Records, is a laid-back, easy-going beat. The sound is slightly similar to that of Chimney’s 2011 Island Vibes Riddim, and its more recent Rising Sun Riddim. It is that groovy type of beat that will have just about anyone – young and old – humming along once they hear it being played. The artistes featured on the beat understood this, and wrote conscious, inspiring songs to complement it.Inna Di Bus, but it definitely comes close in entertainment value.It’s Gonna Be Okay is both the title and the message. I-Octane continued with the inspiring lyrics, with his song Life Ain’t Easy. He encourages that although life is sometimes unfair, we must keep moving on and looking forward.Country Bus, it is only natural that love songs will be produced, and as expected, that is exactly what songbird Alaine did with her song Favourite Boy. Tarrus Riley also felt the love, and shared the mood in his rendition Cool Me Down, which is a tribute to his loved one. Similar sentiments were reflected in Jah Vinchi’s Other Half and Stein’s Non-stop Loving.Let Me Love You, while Natel proclaimed that he would do anything for his love interest in Only for You. Zagga sang a tribute to all the Ladies Around The World, while Kenyan artiste Wyre focused his attention on a Kingston Girl.Talk Dem Ah Talk, while the father and son duo Gramps and Jemere Morgan invited everyone to Try Jah Love.Country Bus Riddim is a saxophone accompaniment. This is done by renowned saxophonist Dean Fraser, and is ideally titled Sax on the Bus.Country Bus Riddim is another that proves to doubters that reggae sounds are still being produced, and are still being embraced by both the established and the up-and-coming artistes and musicians in the local music industry. It has injected over a dozen wholesome songs into the industry, and will undoubtedly be enjoyed by music lovers not only in Jamaica, but the world over.

The artiste who took the title of the riddim for his song is Assassin (Agent Sasco), who shared experiences while on a ‘country bus’ heading to town. He shares some experiences that people can relate to, especially those from the rural areas. The song can never compare to the antics of Professor Nuts’ classic

Konshens also produced a very inspiring song on the beat.
