One Bullet Riddim – Various Artists

One Bullet Riddim keeps the frame tight: just two cuts, both from 2008, which gives the set a bare-bones, almost showcase feel. It stays squarely in reggae territory rather than trying to chase anything flashier, and that restraint leaves room for the voices to do the work. P’s “Only Time Will Tell” has the more memorable title and carries the kind of reflective weight that can anchor a small riddim release, while Unknow’s “Richest Man (Edit)” adds a sharper, trimmed-down contrast to close it out. With only two tracks on the board, there’s no filler to hide behind, so the whole thing hangs on those two performances and the way they sit against the same rhythm. P’s “Only Time Will Tell” leaves the lasting impression.
