Attack Riddim – Yardlink254 And Scrappers Records

Attack Riddim lands as a fairly straight-up 2013 reggae juggling from Yardlink254 and Scrappers Records, but it’s the lineup that keeps it moving rather than any big studio gimmick. Talliban’s “Real Love” and Natural Vibes’ pair of cuts give the set some early lift, while Alex T turns up twice with “Bless Me Mother” and “I Love You, ” and the trio cut with Teknine, Firelamp and Talliban stretches the project into more of a crew affair. The rhythm itself carries that rugged, mid-tempo digital feel common to the era, with space for the vocals to do the heavy lifting and just enough bite in the bassline to keep the songs from settling too softly. The full set runs ten tracks, ending with a collaboration-heavy version alongside M-Thang and Magnificent under the “Kwadza-Kwadza” title.
