Ghetto Chant Riddim – Costa Rebel Productions

Costa Rebel Productions leans into a tougher, chant-heavy side of its 2014 catalog here, and the title says it all: Ghetto Chant Riddim is built around militant vocals and Spanish-language roots cuts rather than polished crossover polish. Chico’s “Están Mal, ” Jah Fabio’s “Struggle, ” and Talawa Reggae Army’s “Ghetto People Chant” give the set its sharpest edges, while tracks like “Freedom Chant” and “Soldados De La Paz” keep the message rooted in uplift and resistance. The production keeps a lean, earthy pulse underneath the voices, with enough bass weight and skank to give the whole run a live-session feel. The project lines up 12 tracks from 12 different artists, including China B, Don Sha, Mike Joseph, Warrior Street, and Young Steppaz, all released on April 20, 2014.
