Iklektik Overview

Today, the Iklektik Riddim is remembered as a classic roots reggae project from 2013. Many reggae fans still include it in their playlists, and sound systems often play its tracks. The riddim brought together a group of respected artists, each adding their own style to the music. Jesse Royal’s “Greedy Babylon” stands out for its strong message and smooth delivery. Jesse Royal later gained more attention with his debut album “Lily of da Valley,” which reached number one on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart. Richie Spice, known for the hit single “Earth A Run Red,” gives a powerful performance on “Can’T Haul We In.” Lutan Fyah’s “More Of Jah Love” adds a spiritual tone, showing his roots reggae influence. Snatcha Spice brings “Babylon Don’T Know I Needs,” a song that fits perfectly with the riddim’s vibe. Spanner Banner, who is recognized for his 1993 chart hit “Life Goes On,” delivers “Till Up The Soil.” Jimmy Riley, with a long career in reggae, sings “Is He Your Lover,” adding another layer to the project. The producer behind Iklektik Riddim is XTM.NATION, a label started by Philip “Fatis” Burrell and later run by his son Kareem “Remus” Burrell. XTM.NATION is known for working with top reggae artists and keeping the roots sound alive, even as reggae changes. Their work on this riddim helped keep the roots style strong in 2013. The project is still respected for its authentic sound and the way it brought together talented voices.
