First Birth Riddim – RandL Music

First Birth Riddim from R and L Music lands as a lean 2017 roots set with just four cuts, and that small cast keeps the focus on the groove rather than the guest list. Anthony B’s “No Fall” gives it the sharpest lift, with Delroy Melody’s “Beat Dung Di Fence” and Freedom’s self-titled tune carrying the same stripped-back, conscious energy, while Mr. Perfect closes things out on “Guidy Morning. ” The riddim sits in that sturdy mid-2010s reggae pocket where the rhythm is warm, uncluttered, and built to let the singers work the melody without too much dressing up. Ending on “Guidy Morning” and the instrumental tie-in, the project feels compact and deliberate, a quick four-track run that keeps the emphasis on message and motion.
