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.
