Cross Border Riddim – Judgement Yaad Records

Judgement Yaad Records usually sits in that hard, militant corner of roots reggae, and Cross Border Riddim keeps that energy while leaning into a cleaner, more song-driven set of voices. Messiah Gyad’s “Where I Belong” and King Majestic’s “True Definition Of A Queen” give the riddim some of its strongest hooks, while Kleva Roots and 6sense General push the conscious side with straight-ahead lyrics over a steady, bass-weighted groove that leaves plenty of room for the singers. There’s no clutter here, just seven cuts from seven artists, each holding the same rhythm with a slightly different angle, from “Lion Rescue” to Slagga B’s “Don’t Let Dem. ” The full set runs seven tracks deep, with Alkebulan closing things out on “If You Know. ”
