Kangaroo Strike Riddim – Prince Riser

By 2019, reggae was leaning hard into rooted singles and producer-driven riddims, and Prince Riser’s Kangaroo Strike sat right in that moment with a ten-track set issued through Sufferers Ocean Records. Sammy Gold’s “Governmets Don’t Care” and King Stanley’s “The Herb” set the tone early, while Staddaday’s “Love You Forever” and Jahmeake Ma-Thoth’s “The Sun” pull the cut toward a brighter, more melodic corner; Prince Riser has said the project was recorded and mixed in Russia, and that cross-border setup gives the riddim a slightly unusual polish without losing its yard feel. Ms Jah’licious, George Palmer, Madi Simmons and the rest keep the messages moving between uplift, herb talk and social commentary, with Codiac closing the set on “Rite Move. ”
