In 2005, a reggae rhythm project emerged, capturing the essence of roots reggae while introducing a modern twist. This project, infused with pulsating beats and spiritual verses, managed to strike a balance between the traditional and the innovative, offering a sound that felt both classic and fresh. Central to this project were several notable artists who brought their unique styles to the table. Bushman contributed with "Outside Yourself," showcasing his ability to blend deep, introspective lyrics with the rhythm’s vibrant pulse. Capleton, known for his energetic performances, delivered "Put It Down," adding a fiery edge to the compilation. Determine's "Me Nah" and Luciano's "Pavlaving Spree" further enriched the project, with Luciano being widely recognized for his hit album "Where There Is Life," which solidified his place in reggae history.
