The Sensation 'riddim', latest production from Llamar "Riff Raff" Brown, drops October 2 on Ineffable Records. The compilation album has eleven songs by artists such as Busy Signal and Lutan Fyah.
Brown's production credentials are well-known, having worked with Stephen Marley on the Grammy-winning album Revelation Part 1: The Root of Life and Junior Gong's hit song, Set up Shop.
The live rhythm features Brown on keyboards, accompanied by by drummer Leon Campbell, bassist Adrian Henry and guitarist Elton Brown.
"I approach it (production) in a very textbook way, I think; in terms of capturing the sound in the recording phase. Otherwise, I try to go in with a vision, but sometimes if not most times inspiration takes over," Brown explained.
Strongly influenced by Greg Phillinganes (of Quincy Jones fame), the Montego Bay-born has been part of Stephen Marley's band for 15 years.
The Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts graduate hit the charts for the first time in 2008 with Di Plane Land.
"I have improved vastly since then, my introduction to high-level producers and production at an early stage; through working with Stephen Marley, Mario C, Paul Fakourie and Wilburn 'Squidly' Cole," said Brown.
