Alkebulan Riddim – Dubtone Music

A warm, rootsy groove anchors Alkebulan Riddim, with enough bounce in the drum pattern to keep it moving while the bassline does the heavier lifting. Dubtone Music keeps the set tight at five cuts, and the mix of voices leans steadily toward conscious reggae rather than any dancehall detour: Jah Mason opens with the title tune, Publik Report fires off “Prove Dem Wrong, ” and Lutan Fyah brings his familiar burn on “Mean It When I Say. ” Djani and Danny Rebel fill out the project without crowding it, which leaves the strongest impression on Jah Mason’s “Alkebulan, ” a proud, straight-ahead chant that sets the tone for the whole riddim.
