DUB AKOM & SHOCK DEM DELIVER SCORCHING CHERRY PEPPA RIDDIM
Dub Akom and Shock Dem have released a scorching five-track riddim that punches well above its weight. The Cherry Peppa Riddim gathers three heavyweight vocalists for a brisk 17-minute showcase of contemporary reggae vitality.
Skarra Mucci opens proceedings with Blud, delivering an intensity that crackles with energy. The mood shifts beautifully as Million Stylez steps up with Don’t Cry, bringing soulful warmth that cuts straight to the heart.
Chezidek anchors the collection with What Your Love Is, a roots-steeped closer that honours reggae’s spiritual foundations.
VIBRANT AND BASS-HEAVY, ITS MELODIES BREATHE AND FLEX AROUND EACH VOCAL
The riddim itself commands attention. It’s vibrant and bass-heavy, with melodies that breathe and flex around each vocal performance. This gives artists genuine room to express themselves fully. The production team have crafted something alive and urgent.
Released through Dub Akom, Shock Dem Records and Evidence Music, this compact EP proves quality matters most. The collection feels remarkably diverse, with each cut bringing a distinct flavour while maintaining cohesive energy throughout.
Cherry Peppa Riddim stands as a potent reminder that modern reggae continues evolving whilst honouring its roots. This is essential listening for anyone craving authentic riddim culture.
