Fuss And Fight Riddim – John John Records

Five tunes, no filler: that’s the shape of Fuss And Fight Riddim, a tight 2011 John John Records set that lines up Alborosie, Louie Culture, Pressure, Sizzla and Tarrus Riley on the same rootsy framework. The vibe sits in that sturdy late-90s/2000s-style reggae lane, with enough pressure in the rhythm to keep the messages moving. Alborosie’s “Worlds Inna Trouble” sounds like the kind of warning shot he’s always been good at, while Tarrus Riley’s “Peer Pressure” leans into the conscience-music angle with real weight. Sizzla’s “Got It Going” adds a more determined edge, and Louie Culture’s “No Watch Man” keeps the talk direct. It’s a small but sharp line-up, and the naming of “Fuss And Fight” feels right for a release that lands with clash-and-conscience energy in 2011.
