Irie Spice Riddim – 6one5 Production

Irie Spice opens with Double Standard’s “Clean Heart, ” a cut that sets a warm, rootsy tone before Major General and Mandella Linkz step in on “Yesterday” and give the riddim its main vocal weight. 6one5 Production keeps the package tight: just three tracks, issued in May 2021, with the instrumental closing the set and laying bare the clean, steady groove underneath. It’s a compact reggae release rather than a sprawling juggling, and that economy works in its favor because the melodies don’t have much room to wander. Major General and Mandella Linkz are the pair that leave the deepest mark here, turning “Yesterday” into the tune that lingers after the instrumental fades.
