Irie Bliss Riddim – Big Zim Records

Big Zim Records’ Irie Bliss Riddim arrived in March 2021 as a mellow, melody-led reggae juggling built for singalong hooks and easy forward motion. The riddim sits in that modern rootsy-commercial lane where the groove stays smooth, the bass is rounded, and the vocals do most of the heavy lifting. At around 80 BPM, it has a relaxed sway that leaves room for lovers rock sentiment, uplift, and a little conscious seasoning.

Big Zim Records carries the project, and the imprint’s name is the only production credit attached across the major platform listings. The release landed as an 11-song set in some stores, though the wider tracklist commonly circulated with 12 cuts, including Teejay’s “Two Side Cutlass, ” Charly Black’s “Call On Me, ” I-Octane’s “Rasta Love, ” Mr Vegas’ “Always On Mind, ” Kiprich’s “Give You My All, ” Lutan Fyah’s “Heavenly Love, ” Chino Mcgregor’s “Beat Of My Heart, ” Zamunda’s “Feeling Irie, ” Phenique’s “Legendary Love, ” Saje’s “I Wanna Know, ” Versi’s “Mercy On Me, ” and Black Fyah’s “Stronger. ”

The best moments come from the singers who lean into the riddim’s warmth rather than trying to overpower it. Charly Black keeps things breezy and direct, Mr Vegas sounds right at home in the sweet-talk pocket, and Lutan Fyah gives the project a more grounded spiritual edge. Teejay adds a sharper dancehall pull with “Two Side Cutlass, ” while Black Fyah’s “Stronger” gives the set a tougher closer. It is a cohesive reggae package, built on clean arrangement and a feel-good pulse rather than big studio tricks.
