Inna De Yard is a collective of pioneering reggae musicians who have come together to revitalize the authentic roots sound that emerged from Jamaica in the 1960s and 1970s. As veterans of the genre, these artists bring a wealth of experience and storytelling to their music, with careers that span several decades. The collective involves a rotating lineup of influential figures, including the likes of Ken Boothe, Winston McAnuff, Cedric Myton, Kiddus I, and Var, among others. Known for their raw, acoustic sound, Inna De Yard captures the essence of reggae with an organic and deeply emotional approach that stands as a refreshing contrast to the overproduced trends in modern music.

Their works, such as "Family Affair," "Humanity," and the tribute to the classic "Baltimore," exemplify a commitment to addressing social issues, love, unity, and the human condition. The project's self-titled release "Inna de Yard" joins a list of recordings that showcase the group's ability to blend soulful harmonies with the stripped-back arrangements that hark back to reggae's golden age. The track "Malcolm X," which features Winston McAnuff, is a poignant example of their artistry in which historical and cultural themes are woven into the music, further underscoring Inna De Yard's mission to uphold and breathe new life into the rich legacy of roots reggae.
