Hot Cross Bun Riddim – Diplomat Inc

Hot Cross Bun Riddim keeps it rooted with a 2003 run produced by Diplomat Inc, drawing heavyweights into a tightly consistent reggae sound bed. Buju Banton headlines with Times Are Changing, while Sizzla, Luciano, Jah Mason, and Spragga Benz each lock into the same rhythm with their own messaging—Sizzla’s Never Stop Loving You and Luciano’s We Can Do It are standout moments from the set. Delly Ranks contributes Herbs Alone, and Chrisinti pairs Jah Nah Fail to round out the main vocal lineup, followed by the Hot Cross Bun version. The production is credited to Andre Riley and Kurt Riley, and the riddim is labeled under Diplomat, tying the release to that late-90s/early-2000s era of disciplined, melody-forward roots programming.
