Human Right Riddim – Various Artists

Human Right Riddim rolls out as a straight-up 2011 dancehall cut with a lean seven-song lineup, the kind of juggling set where each singer gets room to ride the groove without the whole thing feeling crowded. Chico’s “Good Up” and ZJ Liquid’s “Do Dah Wine Deh” point to the brighter, party-leaning side of the riddim, while Mr G’s “Belt Buckle Dem” and Zamunda’s “Jah Nah Sleep” keep it locked into that rough-edged street vibe dancehall was leaning into hard around that time. Bencil’s “Summer Time Again” adds a lighter, seasonal note, and the full cast also includes Jay and Kashu, giving the project a neat cross-section of voices rather than one dominant star turn. It’s credited to various artists, and the final tracklist runs from Bencil through ZJ Liquid, seven tracks in all.
