This German-based label is known for its high-quality reggae productions and has worked with many respected artists over the years.

Tydal Kamau brings a peaceful vibe with “My Paradise,” and Macka B gives thanks for life’s blessings on “Give Thanks.” Naptali’s “Bad Mind People” addresses envy and negativity, showing the riddim’s versatility in supporting different themes. Other strong tracks include Chezidek’s “Work With What You Have” and Gappy Ranks’ “The Band.” Instrumentals and dubs, like Umberto Echo’s “Family Not Friend” and Oneness Band’s “Nice & Easy Riddim,” round out the release.
