Jah Send Mi Come Riddim – Harmodio

Harmodio’s Jah Send Mi Come Riddim lines up veteran voices and younger gunmen across 11 cuts, with Capleton’s “Earthquake In Zion, ” Luciano’s “Astronomical Changes, ” and Sizzla’s “Mind Over Matter” giving the set its backbone. The riddim itself sits on the old Darker Shade Of Black foundation, and this 2001 outing comes through with that familiar sturdy pull rather than any shiny update. There’s a nice tension in the sequencing too: the tracklist moves from militant talk and spiritual uplift into the version side, then back into deeper roots cuts and a final stretch of lovers rock from Tony Curtis, so Harmodio seems to be mapping the riddim’s range as much as packing in names.
