Get Your Groove On Riddim – Various Artists 

Set in a nice mid-2000s roots lane, Get Your Groove On Riddim lines up a dozen-plus voices over one instrumental, with 13 tracks and 13 different artists in the cut. 60 Melody opens with “Oh My, ” while Chrissy Banton’s “Joy And Pain, ” Marcus Fire’s “Live Clean, ” and Muziah’s “Laughing Stock” keep the set moving through conscious themes, personal reflection, and a bit of streetwise edge. One track note that matters: the version comes early enough to frame the rhythm before the singers take it in different directions. There’s no wasted space here, just a steady run of voices and a neat bit of sequencing that lets the riddim establish its pulse, then keeps returning to it as the songs roll on.
