WEIRDO RIDDIM produced by MUSIC4LIFE PRODUCTIONS 2017
Weirdo Overview
In 2017, reggae fans found something special in the rocksteady flow of the Weirdo Riddim. This sound took inspiration from Jamaica’s classic roots, where the rhythm is steady and the message is conscious. Rocksteady has always been about more than just music—it is about community, unity, and speaking truth. The arranger behind this riddim made sure every note felt authentic. The music came together with a smooth, laid-back groove that let each artist shine. MUSIC4LIFE PRODUCTIONS, the producer, played a big part in shaping the sound. Known for working with reggae and roots artists, MUSIC4LIFE PRODUCTIONS helped bring the riddim to a wider audience. Their past projects often focus on collaboration and keeping reggae’s roots alive. The artists on the Weirdo Riddim each brought their own style. Phillipidon’s “Take It In Stride” stands out for its calm, positive message. Kelley Glover’s “I Appreciate” adds warmth and gratitude, while Devine Songz delivers heartfelt emotion in “Song For Mama.” Thriller U, famous for his 1989 hit “My Love,” offers a soulful touch with “Isn’T It Wonderful.” Ed Robinson, known for his cover of “Knocking on Heaven’s Door,” brings his strong voice to “Mr Loser.” Together, these songs create a flow that feels both fresh and true to reggae’s roots. Even now, fans play this riddim as a memory of 2017—a year when conscious rocksteady music brought people together and reminded them of reggae’s lasting power.
