Imei’s “Rise & Fall” is a highlight, showing her powerful voice and thoughtful lyrics. Imei is known for her soulful delivery and has built a loyal following in the reggae community. Isaiah’s “Missing You” adds an emotional touch, while Italee’s “Without You” brings a smooth and heartfelt performance. Each artist used the riddim to share their own message, keeping the spirit of roots reggae alive. The music arranger played a key role in shaping the sound. By blending live instruments with modern touches, the arranger made sure the riddim felt both classic and fresh. CYANIDE RECORDS - produced the project.
