Freedom Train Riddim – Dreadsquad

Dreadsquad’s Freedom Train Riddim leans into early-reggae warmth with a neat, strutting pulse, the kind of set that feels more rootsy and open-air than hard-edged. The vocal contest behind it gives the compilation a nice mix of voices, but Takeyce-Ti’s title cut is the anchor, while Daphne Bluebird’s “Little Little Lies” and Nico Royale’s “Tear Down the Wall” add two of the sharper turns, one more plaintive, the other more militant. M-Syla’s “Police” and Mista Wicked’s “Stark Wia A Löwe” keep the energy moving without crowding the riddim, and the whole thing lands as an 11-track package including the instrumental version. Released in October 2017 on Superfly Studio, it caught Dreadsquad in that sweet spot where sound system craft and song competition meet cleanly.
