Imperative Riddim – Blak Karpet Productions

Imperative Riddim keeps its footing in straight-ahead roots reggae, with 12 cuts and no wasted space across the set, each one clocking in at roughly three and a half minutes. Blak Karpet Productions leans on a strong vocal roster here, moving from Jerimus’ clear-cut opening on “Tell It” through Amejah’s “Times Hard, ” Loyal Flames’ patient chant and Fyah Don’s tougher “Battle Field, ” while Tafari Wisdom and Sunny Trod push the message side with “Unite” and “Essence Of Life. ” The midsection stays steady rather than flashy, which leaves room for the sharper voices to land. Turbulence’s title track carries the weightiest charge, but the close belongs to Lutan Fyah and “Let Babylon Burn, ” the kind of militant encore that leaves the riddim on a firm, fiery note.
