The Zip Project Overview

In 2010, roots selectors helped shape the reggae sound by choosing powerful rhythms for the dance. Their choices brought new life to the roots scene. One important name that year was Holy House Productions. This label became known for blending reggae with dancehall and roots. Holy House Productions had already built a reputation for quality releases and for working with both fresh and established artists. The Zip Project Riddim was one of their standout productions that year. It was played at reggae events across 2010, giving dancers and listeners a taste of roots revival. The riddim featured a strong line-up of artists, each adding their own style. Instrumental delivered the track “The Zip Project,” setting the tone with a classic roots feel. Kerry John brought his voice to “Can’T Break Us.” He is known for his songwriting talent and has worked with several Caribbean acts. Makamillion’s “Daddy Please” added another layer, showing his unique approach to roots music. Musique's “Stay A While” and Orlando Octave’s “Hustle” both stood out. Orlando Octave is recognized for his versatile voice and has enjoyed success in both reggae and soca scenes, especially with his hit “Love You So.” Each song on the riddim highlighted the strength of the artists and the skill of Holy House Productions, making this project a key part of 2010’s roots reggae output.
