Opus Riddim – Eclectic Music

In 2011, when roots and rockers projects were still carrying a lot of weight in the reggae scene, Eclectic Music put out Opus Riddim with a live-band feel and a noticeably French-speaking tilt in the lineup, setting Jah Mason’s “Here Comes” beside Leah Rosier’s “Music Teach Me” and Lutan Fyah’s “I Bun Police. ” The production leans into a nu-roots, reggae-rockers direction rather than anything overly polished or synthetic, and the set’s variety is part of the charm: Anthony John, Fyah P, Raldo, and Ricardo Clarke all sit comfortably on the same cut, while Rise and Shine also appear with the title track, which ties the whole thing together. The release runs 14 tracks in total, with versions from Tribuman and a few other singers rounding out the sequence.
