Grin And Bare It Riddim – Carvel Records

Carvel Records’ Grin and Bare It Riddim landed in 2022 as a 13-track reggae set with a mix of roots-minded singers and a clean instrumental edit tucked into the running order. Mark Wonder opens the vibe with Fighting to be free, while Mikey General turns up on Dem Nuh Easy, Jah Zarro rides A Nuh Mistake, and Kandy Man closes things out on Reggae Man. Other cuts from Derrick Lora, Empress Pure, Milton Blake, and iKuskna help give the riddim a varied but cohesive feel, and the title track itself comes in as a radio edit instrumental. The production comes from Carvel Records, a name that would later resurface with Love Mountain Riddim, and this project leans into straightforward reggae songwriting with strong vocal presence throughout.
