7 Times Rise Riddim – Now Generation Muzik

7 Times Rise Riddim from Now Generation Muzik sits in that mid-2010s roots-reggae pocket where the groove is steady, the message is forward, and the rhythm section does most of the talking. The set is a compact five-track run from 2016, with Bugle’s “Rasta Soldier, ” Luciano’s “May, ” Prince Junior’s title cut, and Terry Ganzie’s “Be Of Good Courage” framing the instrumental in between. Luciano and Terry Ganzie are the names that jump out here, and both lean into the kind of conscious delivery this riddim seems made for. The production keeps things lean and upright, with a patient one-drop pulse, warm bass pressure, and a measured instrumental pattern that leaves space for the vocals to carry the weight. It’s the sort of rhythm that stays anchored in the pocket rather than pushing for flash, and that restrained low end is what holds the whole thing together.
