A Little Bit More Riddim – Inkalink Records

A Little Bit More rides a mellow, rootsy groove with enough swing to keep it moving, the kind of 2007 reggae riddim that feels laid-back on the surface but leaves room for sharp writing and singalong hooks. Inkalink Records lines up a mix of voices that suit that mood well: Chezidek’s “Soul Food” leans conscious and earthy, Lutan Fyah’s “Be Real” brings a steely moral edge, and Lukie D and Tony Curtis soften things up with smoother, more melodic turns. Anthony Que, Cha’maine, Qshan Dya, Ras Myrhdak, Simpleman and Snypah fill out the set without crowding the frame, while the instrumental cut keeps the rhythm front and center. It sits neatly in that mid-2000s stretch when one-riddim reggae projects were still a prime way to hear a label stamp a sound across different singers.
