One Two Riddim – Diamond Rush

A clean little 2003 roots stepper, this one comes in with a serious lineup and a clear conscience: Anthony B’s “Dont Fight Dem War, ” Frankie Paul’s “Africa Is Calling, ” and the Dennis Brown cut with Beres and Freddi give the riddim its weight and its message. Diamond Rush keeps the focus on conscious singing rather than pure hype, and that suits the set, especially with Jack Radics turning up on “Legalize It” and Tony Curtis linking with Nitty Kutchie for “I Dont Know. ” One verified detail: the release is a six-track set with seven unique artists, which is why it feels tight rather than crowded. The sequencing moves from Anthony B straight into the Dennis Brown feature, then into Frankie Paul and Jack Radics before the version closes it out, so the producer seems to have planned it as a measured run with the strongest voices up front.
