Higher Medz Riddim – Various Artists “Klassik”

Medz time. Higher Medz Riddim comes in as a compact eight-cut reggae set from Klassik, leaning on roots-minded singers and conscious themes rather than big stunt-casting, with Jah Mason’s “Cant Forget, ” Sizzla and Maverick’s “Show Some Love, ” and Fantan Mojah’s “Where Is the Love” doing the heavy lifting. The sequencing keeps the vibe moving cleanly through voices like Chuck Fender, Natural Blacks, and Norrisman, and the package closes with the riddim instrumental tucked on the end, which gives the whole thing a proper dub-leaning finish. It was released in 2012, with In The Streetz attached to the digital issue and a March 27, 2012 release date on the album listing.
