I Cant Wait Riddim – Lion Twin Studio

Lion Twin Studio’s I Cant Wait Riddim keeps things compact with just six tracks, but the lineup gives it enough movement to feel like a proper roots session rather than a throwaway. Asfa Yacob and Jahzy set the tone on the title cut with a devotional edge, while Chris Gad’s “Don’t Play With My Love” leans more into lover’s-rock sweetness. General Grant’s “All Of It” adds a steadier, more reflective touch, and the instrumental version lets the riddim’s easy swing and warm bassline do the talking. Issued in 2010, it sits right in that period when a lot of small-label reggae productions were chasing clean, no-frills arrangements and strong voices, and this one does exactly that without overcomplicating the formula.
