Have Mercy Riddim – Creation Star Music

A warm, rootsy swing runs through Have Mercy Riddim, with enough bounce to keep it from feeling too heavy as Creation Star Music lines up four cuts from 2005. The draw here is the mix of generations and tones: Beenie Man teams with the Mighty Diamonds on the title tune, while Cp Inc and Nina lean into a more romantic mood on “So Lonely, ” and Ras Goadie’s “No More War” keeps the message sharp. Roots Revealer’s “Tumbling Down” sits closest to classic conscious reggae, giving the set a firm foundation without turning it into a sermon. The Beenie Man and Mighty Diamonds combination is the headliner, though, and that pairing gives the riddim its clearest identity, with veteran harmony and dancehall edge meeting right in the middle.
