King Majesty Riddim – Stainless Music|Capone Music

King Majesty Riddim came through in 2014 with a clean rootsy step, more rub-a-dub than hard dancehall, and the Stainless Music/Capone Music pairing kept it compact with six voices across seven cuts. Busy Signal is the clear anchor, first on “Real Talk” and again on “Perfect Imperfection, ” while Kiprich’s “Element Of Surprise” and Kananga’s “Most High Jah” push the set toward conscious territory; Franz Capone’s “Pon The I-Phone” and Major Mackrel’s “Penny Me” keep the everyday street talk in the mix. The riddim itself leans on a steady one-drop pulse with a warm bassline and uncluttered drum pattern, leaving plenty of room for the vocals to sit up front. It closes as an instrumental that lays the groove bare, all skank, bass, and patient momentum.
