2013 was a strong year for roots-driven reggae riddims, and iDrop aka Rootstime Riddim landed right in that lane with a one-drop pulse that leaves room for the singers to carry the weight. Luciano’s “Never Leave the Roots” gives the set its moral center, while Freddie McGregor’s “For Your Love” and Ishmel McAnuff’s “Time a Get Tough” keep the energy grounded in classic conscious reggae, with the McGregor cut bringing that seasoned, easy sway and Ishmel’s tune adding a younger voice to the mix. Rootstime Production and Asani Ali Music put the whole thing together as a 17-track compilation released on June 10, 2013, and the project also stretches to artists like Tippa Irie, Big Mountain, and Kalani Kealoha.
