Glory Road Riddim – Yaad Gang Records

Lymit’s Yaad Gang Records cut comes in with a firm, no-frills dancehall groove and a cast that keeps the whole thing moving. Released on February 10, 2017, Glory Road Riddim runs nine tracks over about 25 minutes, with Lymit’s own “Real Friend” sitting right in the middle of a line-up that also includes Kalado’s “So Bless” and Navino’s “Best Mummy. ” There’s a personal edge to the project too, since Lymit was stepping out not just as an artist but as the producer behind the label, and the title track energy feels geared toward streetwise, everyday topics rather than big gimmicks. The sequencing is neat and deliberate: the stronger, more recognizable names are placed early, then the riddim settles into a run of younger voices before closing on a pair of reflective cuts.
