Ease Off Riddim (2014) – Ambassajah Records

Ambassajah Records kept the Ease Off Riddim moving in 2014 with a neat eight-cut set that sits in that warm, mid-tempo reggae pocket where the bass stays round and the groove never gets rushed. The lineup mixes familiar voices with sharper local energy: Joseph Cotton’s “Funfair” brings veteran ease, while Fitta Warri, Thai Stylee, Exile Di Brave, and Rebel Elementz keep the chatter grounded in everyday grit and streetwise detail. Miss T. ’s title track gives the compilation its clearest hook, and Camel’s “Surround We” adds a tougher edge without breaking the riddim’s laid-back swing. Produced from Ambassajah’s studio setup with co-production help from R. B. Sound, it feels like the kind of roots-leaning dancehall release that was still finding room in the mid-2010s for singer cuts and sound-system energy to sit side by side.
