After The Rain Riddim – Tomahawk Music

After The Rain Riddim catches that mid-2010s roots-reggae mood with a patient, rain-washed groove that leaves space for the singers instead of crowding them. Tomahawk Music put it out in 2015 as the label’s first release, and that fresh-start energy comes through in the way the cuts are sequenced. Mehdiman’s title track sets the tone, then Sister Sauti and History Man lighten things up on “Sweet Reggae Muzik, ” before the set rolls through Tuggi Tuggi, Toolman, and the sharper-toned “Jah Children” from Sennid. There’s a nice sense of progression here, with eight different voices stepping onto the same rhythm in a way that feels ordered rather than random, ending on Negra’s “Empathy” as a quiet closing note.
