Dis Yah Time Riddim – Special Delivery Music

After a run of roots-minded various artists, Special Delivery Music kept Dis Yah Time Riddim lean and vocal-forward in 2005, and the cast tells you the lane immediately: Alpheus, Natty King, Queen Omega, Sizzla, Turbulence and Jah Mali all step in with conscious titles and militant phrasing. The riddim itself sits in that mid-2000s reggae pocket, with a measured step, rubbery bassline and a clean drum pattern that leaves room for the singers to stretch out without crowding the mix. Lyricson’s “Goverment Live Fi War” with Singing Melody and M adds a sharper edge, while Queen Omega’s “Big Up Papa” and Sizzla’s “Good Over Evil” carry the set’s strongest pressure. It closes with a tidy version cut that underlines the tune’s steady pulse and the bass-heavy, no-frills groove beneath it.
