Joyful Soul Riddim – Greezzly Production

Joyful Soul Riddim rolls with a warm, upbeat roots feel, the kind of reggae cut that leans on steady guitar skank, mellow bass and a hopeful lift rather than anything too heavy or militant. Greezzly Production lines up a tidy spread of voices here, with Skarra Mucci setting the tone on “Joyful Souls, ” Tee Jay bringing a sweeter love song angle on “Good Love, ” and High Priest turning in one of the more tender moments with “Look Into Your Eyes. ” Around them, Don Tippa, Teacha Dee, Ice, Nico Royale and Gamba The Lenk keep the message moving through love, self-awareness and uplift, which is exactly the lane this 2015 set was aiming for. Released in February 2015, it sits nicely in that mid-2010s run of conscious reggae riddims that kept the sound bright, melodic and community-minded without losing the street-level edge.
