ISOLATE RIDDIM produced by ZED2DIZEE MUSIC 2021
Isolate Overview
The Isolate Riddim, released in 2021, stands out as a strong example of modern reggae that respects the classic foundation rhythms of earlier decades. The rhythm, or "riddim," follows the tradition of using steady drum and bass patterns that have defined reggae since the 1970s. This approach gives the music a familiar, timeless feel while allowing each artist to bring their own voice to the project. The release features a lineup of respected reggae artists. Rod Taylor, known for his classic song "Ethiopian Kings," delivers the track "Hallelujah" on this riddim. Joseph Cotton, who gained attention in the 1980s with hits like "No Touch the Style," contributes "Weeping & Wailing." Junior Roy, an emerging talent in the reggae scene, performs "Share This Love." Cento P adds his song "My Soul," and Zion Head brings "I'm Not A Bad Man" to the collection. Other artists on the riddim include I FI with "Nuh Worry Now," Ganja Tree with "Babylon In Rage," Tony Melody with "Call On Jah," Jah Lightin Mountain with "Oh I Must Live," and I Live aka Dappa Man with "Nothing Else." Each artist uses the riddim’s deep bass and classic reggae feel to deliver their own message and style. The project was produced by ZED2DIZEE MUSIC, a label known for supporting reggae and dancehall releases. ZED2DIZEE MUSIC has built a reputation for working with both established and rising reggae artists, helping to keep the genre vibrant. Isolate Riddim is remembered as a highlight of reggae music in 2021, showing the enduring power of the genre’s classic sound.
