Elite Riddim – Various Artists

Bodine Be Johnson, Cj Priest, Jah Hem, Jah Nyne and Sammi Starr each take a turn on Elite Riddim, a compact 2011 reggae set credited to Various Artists and lined up around five vocal cuts. The selection leans toward lovers-rock and consciousness themes, with Jah Nyne’s “Righteousness” pushing the more roots-minded angle while Bodine Be Johnson’s “My Love Won’T Fade” and Cj Priest’s “Spend My Whole Life” keep the mood in the relationship lane. It’s a short-form juggling, no extras, no dub plate stretch, just the five songs in sequence. The release was issued in 2011 and lists five tracks from five different artists.
