Certitude Riddim – Berta Records

Bugle’s “Unfbotherd” is the sharpest entry point into Berta Records’ Certitude Riddim, a six-track 2019 reggae set that keeps its focus tight and its cast lean. Chino McGregor follows with “Real And Done, ” while Pressure Buss Pipe, Rockaz Elements, and Shuga each take a turn on vocals over the same instrumental, which leaves the version cut to close the loop. The lineup suggests a conscious, roots-minded session rather than a broad stylistic sweep, with Bugle and Chino carrying the most weight and giving the riddim its clearest identity. Pressure Buss Pipe’s “Give Lses” adds another layer of polish, but it’s Bugle’s opening shot and Chino’s direct follow-up that set the tone and stay with you once the instrumental fades.
