Earthquake Riddim (2016) – Meditations Music

Meditations Music keeps Earthquake Riddim rooted in classic-style reggae, with a tight five-track set that leans on live-feeling musicianship rather than any flashy studio gimmicks. Glen Washington’s “Exalted” gives the rhythm a seasoned, rootsy voice right away, while Jerry Johnson’s “Earthquake Riddim Horns” points to the brass-led edge that gives the cut its name. Ansel Meditations turns up twice, on “City Life” and “Humble Yourself, ” and that double appearance suits a producer who knows how to keep the family sound close to the center. Su’ Luv’s “Stay Away” rounds out the vocal side without crowding the arrangement. Released in 2016, this sits neatly inside Meditations Music’s catalogue as one of those compact riddim projects that favors straight-ahead roots pressure and clean song selection over excess.
