Reggae musician Jimmy Riley, born Martin James Norman Riley, the father of reggae superstar Tarrus Riley, is again back on his usual musical groove with the rising success of the recently released 'Contradiction' album.
It was in Europe that Riley first gained recognition in 1983 when he topped the United Kingdom reggae chart with his version of Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing. His catalogue includes several of the '70s and '80s hits such as Tell The Youths The Truth, Nyah Bingi, and Clean Up The Streets.

The project includes tracks such as The Best Business, Slow Motion Swag and the title track, Contradiction.
