Live acoustic drum kit with heavy rim hits and cross-stick accents. - Deep, melodic electric bass front-mixed (prominent in verses, dubbed breakdowns in interlude). - Clean offbeat skank guitar (tight, present, rhythm-forward). - Hammond organ pads and swells for atmosphere; soft organ for intro chant. - African percussion layers (djembes, congas, shekere) for rhythmic color and call-and-response moments. - No dancehall, no EDM, no trap; maintain roots/reggae authenticity. - Production note: reserve space for prophetic ad-libs in mid and final sections; leave headroom for live band dynamics. ARRANGEMENT & DYNAMICS NOTES - Structure arranged to reach 6:30–7:00: extended instrumental interlude (1:00–1:30) with dubbed bass breakdowns and horn/organ stabs; repeated chorus sequence with call-and-response; prophetic ad-lib sections and crowd tag repeats ("He reigns — He reigns"). - Interlude: one-drop drums → deep dub bass breakdown (30–45 sec) → African percussion solo (20–30 sec) → rebuild to chorus with marching drum fill. - Repeated chorus sequence: lead chorus, call-and-response (congregation: "He reigns!"), stacked harmonies, prophetic tag loop.
