Irie Ites

**Irie Ites** is a French reggae collective that’s been a driving force in Europe’s scene since forming in 1999. Originally starting as a sound system, they’ve built a reputation through high-energy live shows (over 1,500 performances!) and collaborations with Jamaican legends like Sizzla, Capleton, and John Holt. Beyond the stage, they run their own studio and label, crafting riddims and releases that blend roots reggae with dancehall and hip-hop influences, often featuring both veterans and emerging artists.

Their discography includes a mix of original productions like the **Strange Things Riddim** series and curated compilations such as **Cream of the Crop**, showcasing their knack for pairing hard-hitting rhythms with conscious lyricism. Recent releases like **Cream of the Crop 2024** and **You A Di Boss** continue their tradition of bridging classic reggae vibes with modern energy.
