First Drop Riddim – M Bass Productions

Tough cut. First Drop Riddim came out of M Bass Productions in 2008 with eight voices riding the same reggae framework, and the cast is anchored by Chuck Fenda’s “Do All Good, ” Jah Mason’s “Thanks And Praise, ” Luciano’s “Seize, ” and Little Hero’s “Jah Jah Power. ” The sequencing keeps it moving cleanly through conscious fare and love-song turns, with Brahyhan Art, Mikeylous, Mitch, and Mr Groove filling out the set without breaking the mood. It’s a compact one-riddim showcase rather than a sprawling compilation, the sort of release that leans on balance and steady pacing instead of tricks. First Drop Riddim lists eight tracks and eight unique artists.
