Hold Your Peace Riddim – Street People

Held together by a mellow but insistent 2002 one-riddim groove, Hold Your Peace has that rootsy, heads-down feel that lets the singers carry the weight while the rhythm stays steady in the pocket. Street People keep the cast tight: Alton Ellis opens with the devotional uplift of “Praise Jah Jah, ” Tony Rebel brings the warning and balance on “Ups And Down, ” and Zebulium closes with “Nah Build No Enemy, ” which gives the set a sharper conscious edge. It’s a small line-up, but that’s part of the point. With only three cuts, the sequencing feels deliberate, almost like a short statement rather than a broad compilation, moving from praise to reflection to outright warning without wasting a turn.
