Strength Up Overview

In 2015, reggae fans were searching for music that spoke about real life and unity. The Strength Up Riddim arrived at a time when conscious lyrics and roots sounds were making a strong comeback in Jamaica and around the world. The riddim’s deep bass and echoing effects reminded listeners of classic reggae, but with a fresh energy for the new generation. The arranger played an important role, shaping the riddim’s sound to highlight positive messages. The producer, REALITY SHOCK, is known for his work with the UK-based Reality Shock Records label. He has built a reputation for pushing roots reggae forward, often working with both established and new artists. His productions are praised for their authentic sound and for keeping reggae’s conscious spirit alive. On the Strength Up Riddim, several respected artists delivered standout tracks.

Bryan Art, who sings "Let Them Play," is known for his smooth voice and songwriting skills; he once toured as the lead guitarist for the Firehouse Crew. Marga’s "Reggae Music" celebrates the genre’s timeless appeal. Deadly Hunta brings a message of unity with "Lets Stick Together," and Beres Brown’s "Heads Of Government" adds political awareness.
