Fight It To The Top Riddim – Big Man Records

Big Man Records’ 2004 cut rides a warm, mid-tempo reggae groove with a gentle one-drop swing and that glossy early-2000s roots feel, the kind of rhythm that leaves plenty of space for the singers to lean into the melody. Gregory Isaacs brings the smoky romance on My Kind Of Lady, while Spanner Banner answers with the sweeter, more devotional touch of Love You Always, and the pairing keeps the riddim focused rather than crowded. This one also taps into a familiar reggae habit of reworking classic-sounding frameworks for new voices, with the title itself echoing an older Fight It To The Top lineage that collectors will recognise.
