Dreadlock Nah Run Riddim – Thompson Sound

It’s the King Kong cut that gives Dreadlock Nah Run Riddim its bite, with “Who Say” riding alongside Linval Thompson’s title tune and Triston Palmer’s “Redemption Song” over a lean 1980 roots groove that feels cut straight from the Thompson Sound vaults. The set is small — just four tracks — but that actually suits the mood, because the riddim leaves plenty of room for the bass to rumble and the vocals to land without clutter. Linval Thompson’s own name on the production tells you the lane here: late-period roots with a sharp edge, the kind of session where one strong version and a handful of singers can carry the whole thing. The tracklist runs King Kong’s “Who Say, ” Linval Thompson’s “Dreadlock Nah Run, ” Triston Palmer’s “Redemption Song, ” and the instrumental version.
