Fade Away Riddim (2012) – Stainless Records

Fade Away Riddim by Stainless Records came out in 2012 and pulls together a strong reggae cast, led by Wayne Marshall and Liquid on the title cut. The project also features Pressure Busspipe, Bugle, Teflon, Timeka Marshall, and Da Professor, with tracks like Big Picture, Fire Get Red, and Too Much Blood giving the riddim some of its sharpest moments. Stainless Records keeps the arrangement tight and melodic, with a smooth rootsy feel that lets the vocals carry the weight. It’s a compact 10-track set and one of the cleaner examples of the label’s mid-2010s reggae work.
