Driver Riddim – Lockdown Records

A strong UK-rooted cast gives Driver Riddim its shape, with Lockdown Records lining up voices like Tippa Irie, Lloyd Brown, Peter Spence, Omar Perry and Maxi Priest around a polished 2012 reggae cut. The title track figures speak for themselves: “Driver Horns” sets a brisk, horn-led pulse, while the vocal tunes lean into uplift and social reflection rather than any one mood, moving from Jah Son’s “Jah Children” to Peter Spence’s “Promise Land” and Lloyd Brown’s measured “Make Time For Love. ” Tippa Irie turns up in two different corners of the project, first alongside G. Vibes on “Driving” and then with Black Blunt on “High Grade, ” and that pairing leaves the sharpest mark, especially where the rhythm opens up and the toasting locks right into the groove.
