Karma Riddim (2020) – Malvo Entertainment

Malvo Entertainment pulled together Karma Riddim in 2020 as a five-cut reggae juggling with a lovers-rock pull and a dancehall edge. Anthony Red Rose opens the set with “Sweetest Romance” alongside Beenie Man, and the pairing makes immediate sense: Red Rose has long been one of dancehall’s sharpest melodic voices, while Beenie Man brings the name recognition and swagger that help push the cut beyond straight romance. Tiffanie Malvo and Wayne Wonder follow with “Love You, ” a smoother, more openly sentimental song that sits neatly in Wayne Wonder’s wheelhouse.

Daniel John’s “I Can’t Wait” with Pressure Busspipe brings a more rootsy strain of longing, while Anthony Malvo and Buju Banton give “Baby Come Take It” extra weight through two voices that can ride a riddim with authority and bite. Jigsy King’s “Rethink” closes the selection with a veteran’s cadence and a cooler, cautionary feel that shifts the project away from simple loverman business.

The riddim itself has a clean, midtempo pulse and a glossy contemporary finish rather than a heavy throwback drag. It is the kind of production that leaves room for hooks, harmonies, and straight-to-the-point storytelling. Released on July 17, 2020, it sits comfortably in Anthony Malvo’s wider catalogue of producer-led reggae work, and the lineup makes clear that the label was aiming for crossover-friendly voices without losing the core dancehall feel.
