Strange Things Riddim (Reggae) – Irie Ites Records

Irie Ites Records’ Strange Things Riddim brings together a stacked 2025 reggae cast around John Holt’s Strange Things, with cuts from Chezidek, Sizzla, Lutan Fyah, Pressure Busspipe, Junior Kelly, Big Youth, Trinity, Spectacular, Ras Mc Bean and Sena Dagadu, plus King Lorenzo. The set leans into a conscious roots feel, but it also stretches into tougher dancehall-leaning moments on tracks like Smoke My Herbz, Badda Than Dem and Ina Dancehall. John Holt’s title song sets the tone, while Sizzla turns up twice with Revolution and Smoke My Herbz, giving the riddim extra pull. The project is tied to Irie Ites’ long-running roots-and-dub catalogue, and the release is credited with Mafia and Fluxy on the riddim version, which fits the deep, band-driven backbone underneath the vocal cuts.
