Bad Mind Riddim – Positive Star Promotion

There’s a neat little seriousness to Bad Mind Riddim: just four cuts, no overcrowding, and the whole thing leans on roots singers who know how to carry a warning tune without shouting it. Abijah’s “In My Heart, ” Jah Mason’s “Even When The Wind Blow, ” and Luciano’s “Just A Little Bit Of Faith” sit over Positive Star Promotion’s 2004 production, with Luciano usually the name that pulls the ear first. The title says plenty too, because this is less about party momentum than that familiar reggae argument against envy, sabotage, and bad energy. The sequence keeps that intent intact, ending with a plain Version that leaves the rhythm exposed after the vocals have had their say.
