16 Tons Riddim has that stripped, rootsy weight you hear in the title itself: a five-cut set from 117 Records that leans on live-feeling reggae with a dubwise edge. Bionic Clarke’s “Prettiest Girl” and Chanter’s “Pretty Like A Flower” keep the vocal side warm and melodic, while Dubvisionist doubles down with “Prettiest Dub” and the more meditative pairings “Ancient Meldodica” and “Ancient Time, ” alongside Dubiterian and Rass Milho. The project comes from the same 117 Records camp behind other 2015 roots releases, and you can hear that early-mid-2010s pull toward hands-on arrangements, vocal tunes, and roomy dub versions that kept the format moving without losing its foundation feel.
