3rootz Riddim – Afirootz Production

Kumar opens Afirootz Production’s 3rootz Riddim with “Hammer, ” and that’s the cut that sets the tone for the whole three-song set: lean, rootical reggae with a steady, low-slung pulse rather than any big studio trickery. Mackeehan’s “High Grades” keeps the same frame but brings a sweeter melody into the groove, while Publik Report’s “Brave Up” closes things out with the most straightforward chant-style energy. The production credit belongs to Nicholas Robinson under the Afirootz banner, and the full release runs three tracks deep, all released on October 1, 2021.
