Honey Cone Riddim Pt 2 – Raggedy Joe

HONEY CONE RIDDIM PT 2 – RAGGEDY JOE

Honey Cone Riddim Pt 2 gathers an 11-track spread that reads like a tidy snapshot of mid-2000s conscious reggae, with veteran voices and younger singers sharing the same warm, rootsy canvas. The cuts lean into lovers-rock tenderness and uplift rather than anything bruising, so Frankie Paul’s “Crush On You, ” Morgan Heritage’s “Signs and Wonders, ” and Queen Ifrica’s “Give It Up For Love” carry the sweetest emotional weight, while Prezident Brown and Tony Rebel keep the message side front and center. Raggedy Joe’s touch here feels measured and unfussy, letting the riddim’s mellow pulse and steady bass do the heavy lifting. The last cut, Tony Rebel’s “Experience Teaches Wisdom, ” lands like the closing statement it is, and the instrumental gives the whole set its final shape.
