Blessing Riddim (2005) – Loyal Soldiers Productions

Loyal Soldiers Productions kept this 2005 cut lean rather than loading it up with a big-voiced roll call, and that restraint suits the tune: three tracks, two vocals, and one raw instrumental in the middle. Chico’s “Love Is A Wonderful Thing” brings the sweeter side, but the one that lingers is Vybz Kartel’s “My Marijuana, ” where his relaxed, sly delivery rides the “Bug Instrumental” with that hard-edged mid-2000s dancehall pressure underneath. The riddim itself stays spare and direct, letting the bass and drum pattern do the talking instead of crowding the mix, so every vocal line lands clean. It’s a small release by design, with Chico, the version cut, and Kartel all lined up across just three tracks.
