Imagin Riddim – Bellyfull Sound

Out of the Canadian reggae scene, Bellyfull Sound’s Imagin Riddim lands as a compact 2018 one-drop showcase with enough movement to keep the whole set lively. The groove sits in that sweet spot between a skanking reggae bounce and a bashment-ready pulse, which gives singers room to ride the pocket without ever letting the rhythm go flat. Provherbs’ “Can’T Ignore” and Infa Di Bad Artist’s “Party Tonight” set the tone early, while Dazzlin Iritical, Ledger, and Kendi each approach the riddim from different angles — from sharper stepping to sweeter, dance-minded phrasing. Wingy Ranks’ “This Beat” and the Bellyfull Sound mega mix tie it all together neatly. It’s the kind of compilation that recalls the classic riddim era, when one instrumental could carry a whole crop of voices and still leave you wanting one more pull.
