Holding Riddim – Jah Snowcone Records

Down in the 2006 reggae riddim run, Holding came out of Jah Snowcone Records with that clean, rootsy feel Rohan “Snow Cone” Fuller was carving out around the time. The cut that really catches the ear is Ginjah’s “Holding Firm, ” which sits neatly beside Daville’s “Love U Better” and Mikey General’s “Envy and Greed, ” each one riding the same steady groove but leaning into it differently — Daville smooth and romantic, Ginjah more anchored and reflective. Fuller’s touch is all over it: tight, uncluttered, and geared for singers who can carry a message without crowding the rhythm. With 12 different voices on board, from Nadine Sutherland to Warrior King and Spragga Benz, it feels like one of those downtown-to-islandwide compilation moments that quietly did its work and kept moving.
