Good Morning Overview

In 2012, the Good Morning Riddim became a memorable part of reggae’s roots output. The riddim, produced by JUNKYARD MUSIC PRODUCTIONS, brought together a group of artists who each gave their own style to the project. The base of the track is pure reggae, but it also mixes in jazz touches, making it stand out from other releases of the time. JUNKYARD MUSIC PRODUCTIONS is known for working with both new and established reggae talents. The label has helped shape the sound of modern reggae, with several releases gaining recognition in the reggae community. Jimmy Riley, a respected figure in reggae, delivers “Give The People.” Riley is well known for his classic hit “Love & Devotion” and for being the father of Tarrus Riley, another reggae star. His voice brings wisdom and experience to the riddim. Perfect’s song “Should I” adds a thoughtful energy. Perfect is recognized for his hit “Hand Cart Bwoy,” which made waves on reggae charts and brought him international attention. Kharuso’s “Always Loving Jah” brings a spiritual message, adding depth to the collection. Jimbolee with “Never Give Up” and Uey with “Mama Dont You Cry” also bring their unique voices. Each artist uses the reggae foundation in their own way, blending it with hints of jazz and soul. The culture arranger’s work is clear in the smooth transitions and the way the songs fit together, making the riddim both cohesive and flexible.
