Go With Jah Riddim – Taitu Records

Taitu Records’ Go With Jah Riddim sits squarely in the Brooklyn label’s roots-and-dub catalogue, and by the time it surfaced in 2015 it was already being treated as a well-known Kingston reggae revival cut. The juggling pulls together Daweh Congo, Kabaka Pyramid, Samory I, Micah Shemaiah, Mark Wonder and Addis Pablo, with Russ Disciple handling the dub sides, so the project moves between militant chant and steppers pressure without losing its frame. Daweh Congo’s title cut and Mark Wonder’s Real Battle Axe lean into the warrior-talk side of the set, while Samory I’s Scepter and Micah Shemaiah’s Dread Act keep the spiritual heat up front. The production is spare and direct: a deep bass line, clipped drums, and enough room around the vocal for each singer to ride the groove cleanly. It’s all held together by that steady one-drop pull and a dark, meditative bass pattern.
