Flymind Riddim – Spaike Lion And Blesstoko Records

The Flymind Riddim moves with a light, springy reggae pulse, the kind that leaves room for bright melodies and clean singjay turns rather than heavy-handed bass pressure. Spaike Lion and Blesstoko keep the framework airy and melodic, and the cut has that multilingual, francophone-Caribbean feel running through it, with voices like Dazz, High J, Iseal and K. T. M carrying most of the weight. Blesstoko already pops up as an artist in the lineup, which fits the label’s hands-on approach and gives the whole thing a more collective feel than a standard producer compilation. For a 2017 set, it sits neatly in the part of the catalog where the pair were steering mellow rootsy dancehall-reggae with enough polish to let the singers do the talking.
