Black Woman Riddim (2014) – International Highpower Records

Black Woman Riddim from International Highpower Records sits in that warm, rootsy 2014 lane where the groove is steady and the messages lean toward self-respect, uplift, and spiritual grounding. Perfect Giddimani opens with “No More Crying, ” a clean-headed cut that sets the tone, while Ras Attitude’s “Jah Bless Me” pushes the conscious angle harder with its prayerful chorus and militant edge; his later “Strong Women” ties the whole title back to the ladies the riddim is saluting. Menny More’s “Understand Yourself” and Fyakin’s “Caan Stop We” keep the energy moving without breaking the meditative mood, and the instrumental tucked on the set gives the riddim a proper showcase. Released in early February 2014, it feels like one of those modest but sturdy projects that caught the moment without trying to overstate it.
