Bless Riddim – Various Artists

BLESS RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2008

A warm, rootsy pulse runs through Bless Riddim, with a steady one-drop feel that leaves room for the singers to preach without crowding the groove. On this 2008 three-track juggling, Prestige’s “I Am Bless” sets the tone in a direct, uplifting register, and Lutan Fyah’s “Burn Dem Out” pushes the same foundation into sharper conscious territory, sounding like the cut that gives the riddim its edge. Jaheim’s “Give Praise” softens the mood a little, but the whole thing stays locked in that upright, devotional lane. It’s a small set, just three songs deep, yet the sequencing keeps it moving cleanly, almost like a short meditation before it’s gone.
