13 Months In Zion Riddim – One Motion Music

Rooted deep, 13 Months In Zion leans into warm roots reggae with a steady, meditative pulse and a cast that crosses the Caribbean from Trinidad’s FreeTown Collective and Zebulun to Jamaica’s Kelissa, Di Govanah and Kamray. The set is the second exclusive roots project from Addis Pablo and Ras Jammy for Suns of Dub / One Motion Music, and you can hear a bit more confidence in the writing and arrangement than on their earlier work, with Addis’ melodica lines tying the whole thing back to that Augustus Pablo lineage. Kelissa’s “Time Is Now” and Cali P’s “Sounds Of Creation” carry the kind of uplift that keeps the riddim moving without rushing it. It sits neatly in the label’s early catalog as one of those measured, spiritually minded one-riddim projects they were already making their own.
