Contemplation Riddim (2018) – Dredavis Records

Contemplation Riddim arrived as a 2018 Dredavis Records reggae set with ten cuts, giving the package a clean, archival feel rather than a big glossy showcase. The lineup runs from Bubbles Man’s “Mi An Dem A Nuh One” and Dj Faith’s “Work Hard” through Mamason, Mercenary, Potenklei, and Wiseman, with Xkolawjermaine Micheal closing things out on “Contemplate. ” Dredavis keeps the music in a straightforward roots pocket, leaning on a steady one-drop pulse, warm bassline movement, and uncluttered drum work that leaves the singers room to stretch their phrasing. It’s the kind of riddim where the vocal approach matters more than flashy production tricks, and the songs sit naturally against the same easy, meditative groove.
