God Frequency Riddim – Chosen Records

Chosen Records kept this one focused and devotional, letting the vocals carry the message over a straight-up dancehall cut rather than dressing it up with extra fuss. The set landed in 2011 and runs seven tracks deep, with Goddesta and Ryan Mark pairing on “Nuh Fraid” and Ryan Mark returning later for “Stadium Prayz. ” There’s a clear gospel-minded streak through the lineup too, with Goddy Goddy’s “Devil Is A Liar, ” Jahdai’s “Jesus Name, ” and Omari’s “Mi King” all pushing that same spiritual line. “Heart Smile” by Lypher sits right in the middle and softens the mood a little before the final stretch, while the closing Chosen Records instrumental seals the sequence like the producer wanted the riddim to breathe after the singers had had their say.
