Melodies Riddim – H2o Records

Melodies Riddim produced by H2o Records 2010

Melodies Overview

The Melodies Riddim started with a simple idea in the studio: bring together strong roots reggae sounds with a modern touch. The foundation builder wanted to create a riddim that felt true to classic reggae, but also fresh for 2010. Deep basslines and steady drums gave the riddim its warmth and energy. H2o Records produced this collection. The label is known for working with both new and established reggae artists. H2o Records has released several well-received riddims over the years and helped push roots reggae into new spaces, especially in the late 2000s and early 2010s. The Melodies Riddim brought together three well-known voices. I Octane’s “Study Yuh Friend” stands out for its positive message and catchy flow. I Octane is recognized for his thoughtful lyrics and has had hits like “Lose A Friend” in his career. Jah Cure delivered “On You,” adding his unique soulful style. Jah Cure is famous for his powerful voice and songs such as “Longing For,” and he has been nominated for Grammy awards. Jah Vinci’s “I Don’t Care” brought another layer to the riddim. Jah Vinci is known for his emotional delivery and collaborations with artists like Vybz Kartel. When the Melodies Riddim played at reggae events in 2010, it fit perfectly with the sound system culture. Each track brought energy and uplifted the crowd, making it a favorite at festivals and dances.
