Producer Tasjay James Smith recently dropped a remake of his earlier

The Jamaican-born Smith, who now resides in Canada,

noted that the inspiration behind the riddim was his upbringing, citing

that he often heard the music of Brown and thought it necessary to produce

something inspired by the prolific artiste.

The project, which was undertaken by Smith’s company

Tasjay Productions, employed the track’s original musicians, Sly

and Robbie, to recreate the drum pattern.

Coupled with Firehouse Crew and engineer Delroy

“Fatta” Pottinger, he created a refreshed version of the popular beat.

“Dancehall is for a certain age group, after which we

fall back to good old Reggae music, this kind of

sound appeals to all kinds of people either allowing to reminisce or create new

memories with the strong sound of this beat, that’s

all we really want to do with music is inspire and edify people,’ explained

Smith

“With COVID-19 monopolising 2020, the team did not

pursue getting visuals actively, but now are

ready for the second phase of the promotion of the 16-track project which

features some of the great reggae artistes of our time,” added Smith.

Smith

further said his production company was now in the process of creating visuals

for a few of the singles to kick start 2021.

Those on the riddim include Anthony B, Luciano, and

Little Hero.

Some of the standout tracks on Outta Jamaica Riddim are Luciano’s New Sheriff, Rad Dixon featuring TeachaDee with the uplifting Keep The ChildrenSafe, and Horace Martin featuring Vonnii with Awake Jah Jah Children.
