Faithful Prayer Riddim – Yardhype and DJ Kaas

By April 2015, Yardhype and DJ Kaas were leaning into a prayerful, conscious dancehall cut that keeps its energy up even while the subject matter turns inward. Faithful Prayer Riddim runs through nine tracks and doesn’t waste time on filler: Singing Sweet’s “Jah Watch Over Me” sets the tone, Lady Flame brings a grateful mothers’ anthem with “Thank You Mama (Keep Standing Up Tall), ” and Savage answers with the more personal “Pray For Me. ” The mix of voices keeps the riddim moving between faith, remembrance, and social reflection, with Frizzy’s “Rip (Fallen Soldiers)” and the bonus pairing with Caldhino giving the project some of its heaviest emotional weight. The production is credited to YardHype/DJ Kaas, with A. I. P Recordz named on later listings as the riddim composer, and the closing Caldhino feature leaves the sharpest aftertaste.
