Jah Soul Riddim – Lazeme Productions

Jah Soul Riddim from Lazeme Productions sits in that 2007 roots-reggae space where the arrangement does the heavy lifting: a warm, mid-tempo pulse, deep bassline and a patient one-drop feel that leaves room for the singers to stretch out. The set pulls in a strong run of voices, with Anthony B’s “Lonely Girl, ” Anthony Cruz’s “Lite It Up, ” Chezidek’s “Give Them A Try” and Lutan Fyah’s “Ginnalship” among the sharper cuts. Bushman, Little Hero and Shandyman keep the message side active too, so the project never drifts far from conscious terrain. There’s a stripped, earthy quality to the production that keeps the riddim moving at a steady 77 BPM, and the version piece ties it off cleanly without dressing it up.
