Da Real Time Riddim Vol 1 – Grillaras Productions

Grillaras Productions lines up a hefty 17-track take on Da Real Time Riddim here, and the cast tells you straight away this is conscious roots territory rather than party business. Capleton, Anthony B, Chezidek, Junior Kelly, Lutan Fyah and Mikey General all step in with songs that circle uplift, clean living and sharp social commentary, while the riddim itself moves with a warm mid-tempo swing and enough bass weight to keep the chant-friendly hooks grounded. The sequencing gives the project a nice push and pull between firebrand energy and meditation, with “Open Your Eyes” and “Keep Rising” setting the tone early before “No More War” and “Good Health” lean deeper into the message. It closes out with the instrumental version and medley mix, which lets the whole arrangement breathe and shows the cut’s sturdy backbone underneath the vocals.
