Big Ship On The Bump Riddim – Big Ship Records

Big Ship On The Bump has that early-2000s rootsy swing that lets the groove do the talking, with a warm, rolling bassline and enough room for the vocals to sit right in the pocket. Big Youth’s “Bumpy Road” brings a veteran edge, Freddie McGregor leans into the title phrase on “Things A Come Up To Bump, ” and Norbert Clarke keeps the mood on the sweeter side with “Say Goodbye To Love. ” Big Ship’s production credit fits the era, when the label was still threading reggae and dancehall sensibilities through its catalog with a clean, uncluttered touch. The closing version track leaves the rhythm exposed, and that stripped instrumental really confirms how much of the project’s pull comes from the bounce itself.
