Inspiration Riddim – Scrapper Records

Scrapper Records’ 2013 Inspiration Riddim leans into warm roots-reggae uplift rather than anything overly busy, with a soft, hymn-like pulse that gives songs like Alex-T’s “Mama Don’t Cry, ” Firelamp’s “My Inspiration, ” and Lukie Itch’s “Gyal Is Myn” room to breathe. The set is compact too, just 11 cuts from nine artists, so the focus stays on melody and feel instead of clutter. Janice’s “Like A Bird” adds a lighter, airy touch, while Talliban closes the sequence with “Music Ina Africa, ” a track that gives the project a wider, more conscious frame after the straight love-song run.
