Backa Ah Yard Riddim – Musick Basket Productions And Blazin Faya Sound

Back Ah Yard Riddim has that warm, laid-back reggae sway that feels like it’s looking back home while still keeping a modern edge, and Musick Basket Productions alongside Blazin Faya Sound keep the whole thing trim at five cuts. The lineup doesn’t overload the rhythm; instead it moves from the tender phrasing of Iyano Iyanti’s “Touch Of Love” to King B-Fine’s “Home” alongside Jamino, then into the more message-heavy lane with Ras Khaleel’s “Dare Dem” and Ras Sherby’s “Unite Black People. ” Released in 2014, the project has the compact feel of a small-circle session rather than a sprawling compilation, which gives each voice a bit more room to land. Ras Sherby’s “Unite Black People” closes it with the sharpest footing, leaving the riddim on a conscious note that lingers after the last pull-up.
