OPUS RIDDIM produced by ECLECTIC MUSIC 2011
Opus Overview
In 2011, the reggae scene saw a strong return to roots with the release of the Opus Riddim. This riddim captured the spirit of the year, bringing classic reggae sounds into a modern setting. Roots riddims like this kept the foundation of reggae alive, while giving new artists and familiar voices a platform to share their messages. The selection of tracks on Opus Riddim was carefully chosen by the roots selector, highlighting voices that carried both energy and meaning. The producer behind the project, ECLECTIC MUSIC, had already built a reputation for quality reggae productions. The label was known for supporting conscious music and helping artists reach wider audiences through digital platforms. Anthony John’s “No Trouble” stands out with its call for peace and unity. Anthony John is respected for his uplifting songs and has worked with several well-known reggae producers over his career. Dilo’s “Nouveaux Horizons” brings a fresh perspective, while Elliot Nell’s “Hide And Run” adds depth with thoughtful lyrics. Fyah P’s “Music Give I Strength” shows the power of music to inspire, and Jah Marnyah’s “Not For Sale” is a strong statement about staying true to one’s values. Each artist brings their own style, but together they keep the roots of reggae strong. The Opus Riddim is a reminder of how reggae can entertain and educate at the same time.
