Dont Stop The Riddim – Idlers Corner Records

Idlers Corner Records frames Don’t Stop The Riddim with a tidy little roots set that never tries to do too much, and that restraint is part of the appeal. The 2014 package keeps things centered on Yami Bolo, who gets two passes at the title cut, including the Kette Drum Mix, while Marshall Neeko slips in with “Don’t Stop The Dub” and Informative History Man opens the bonus side with “Rasta Pon Top. ” It’s a compact lineup, but the sequencing gives the riddim enough room to breathe, moving from straight vocal cuts into dubwise terrain without losing its grounding. Yami Bolo’s main take on “Don’t Stop The Riddim” is the track that leaves the strongest imprint, warm and militant in the same breath, with that chant-like drive carrying the release to its close.
