Higher Profile Riddim – Top Jam Records

Top Jam Records frames Higher Profile as a compact 2021 reggae riddim with a veteran-conscious cast, and the names here do the heavy lifting: Richie Spice, Lukie D, Mikey General, Natural Black and Admiral Tibet all step onto the same cut with different shades of uplift and warning. The sequence is straightforward, opening with Richie Spice’s “Children of Today” before moving through “Angel Out There, ” “Testify, ” “Mankind” and “Precious Love, ” then closing on the version. It’s a six-track set in total, with five vocal selections plus the instrumental, which keeps the focus on the groove and the message rather than on excess. Released in May 2021, it sits squarely in that steady roots-reggae lane Top Jam was working at the time.
