MOTIVATION RIDDIM produced by ONE TON RECORDS 2016
Motivation Overview
In 2016, reggae fans were treated to a special roots project that brought back the classic rocksteady flow. At a time when dancehall and modern reggae were pushing new sounds, this riddim stood out for its deep, steady groove. The sound felt both fresh and timeless, giving listeners a real taste of reggae’s foundation. Behind this release was ONE TON RECORDS, a label known for its strong roots productions. The label has a reputation for uplifting new talent and shaping projects with a positive message. Over the years, ONE TON RECORDS has worked on several respected reggae compilations, always keeping the focus on cultural vibes and authentic rhythms. The riddim brought together several exciting voices. Phenomden’s “Nah Give Up” is a standout. Phenomden, a Swiss reggae artist, is well known in Europe for his album “Eiland” and has collaborated with top reggae acts across the continent. Omari delivers “Keep Moving On,” and some fans will remember him for his song “Help,” which was a hit in Jamaica and earned him the IRAWMA award for Best Gospel Song in 2007. Angel Doolas brings his own style to “Things I Used to Do,” adding a seasoned voice to the line-up. Natel’s “Youths Fi Rich” gives young singers a platform to share their message, while Phocas’s “A Jah” keeps the roots spirit alive. Prince Levy with “Jah Will” and Raging Fyah’s “Motivation Riddim” round out the project, each adding their unique energy.
