Devils Angel Riddim – Supersonic Sound

Devil’s Angel Riddim lands in that mid-2000s roots-conscious lane Supersonic Sound was carving out, with a grim, militant edge that suits names like Bunji Garlin, Chrisinti, Luciano and Natural Black. Released in late 2007, it was the Berlin crew’s first production, and the cast gives it a proper international spread, from Tonton David and Ziggi to Jah Mason, Junior Kelly and Phenomden. The songs lean on hard, steppers-style bass, clipped drums and a stark, minor-key feel rather than anything flashy, so the voices have to carry the tension. Chrisinti’s “My Enemies” and Luciano’s “How Long” sit right in the pocket of the riddim, while Taffari’s title tune and Natural Black’s “Gideon Move” push the message home. It’s a lean, serious cut with a steady pulse and a rough acoustic mood.
