Espresso Overview

In 2011, roots reggae was finding new energy in Jamaica and beyond. The sound of roots riddims, with their deep bass and steady drum patterns, brought back memories of reggae’s classic era. Fans looked for music that honored the past but still felt fresh. This was the cultural mood when the Espresso Riddim arrived, adding a calm, warm feeling to the year’s reggae playlists. The foundation of the riddim came from producers who respected reggae’s history. They built the music on rich, live-sounding instruments and careful arrangements. This approach helped the riddim stand out among the digital beats that were popular at the time. Artists like Delly Ranx, Gappy Ranks, Iyara, and Tall Up each brought their own style to the project.

Iyara’s “Show Me” added a sharp energy, while Tall Up’s “Sponsor Loving” brought a catchy, modern vibe. This collection became a favorite for reggae lovers in 2011.
