On August 8, Tasjay Productions released “2 Time 2 Riddim,” a reggae compilation featuring a diverse lineup of voices and themes. The initial three-track project introduced songs from Horace Martin, Esdras IS-RA-EL, and label artist Rad Dixon. Shortly after its release, Canadian reggae singer Tony Anthony was added to the mix, expanding the compilation’s scope and resonance.
 
Each track contributes a distinct flavor to the project. Horace Martin’s “Married Man” explores the complexities of love and lust within an affair, while Esdras IS-RA-EL takes a more traditional route with “I Love You,” a heartfelt tribute to his partner. Together, their songs bring intimacy and emotion to the riddim.
 
On the other side of the spectrum, Rad Dixon and Tony Anthony steer the compilation toward social and spiritual reflection. Dixon’s contribution, “Nah Trust,” confronts politics and the role of politicians—an especially timely message given Jamaica’s current election season. Anthony closes out the project with his interpretation of “Precious Lord,” the classic gospel hymn written by Thomas A. Dorsey in 1932, offering a soulful and reverent finish.
 
Smooth, melodic, and thematically balanced, “2 Time 2 Riddim” shows Tasjay Productions’ ability to bring together different aspects of reggae—from romance to protest to worship. It’s a concise yet powerful project that deserves a place in the playlists of reggae enthusiasts everywhere.
