King Riddim – Renaissance

KING RIDDIM produced by RENAISSANCE 2012

Renaissance’s 2012 King Riddim comes out of the French reggae camp with the sort of live-band muscle you’d expect from a group that had already spent years honing its sound before this comeback set. The project keeps the focus on one riddim and a spread of roots-minded vocals, with names like Little Guerrier, Momo Roots, Ragga Ranks and Braveheart moving through tunes that lean on uplift, faith and everyday struggle rather than flash. “Roi Des Rois, ” “Liberation” and “Babylone” point to the spiritual, militant side of the session, while the French-language cuts keep it grounded in that francophone scene. The release was issued in 2012, and “Renaissance” marked King Riddim’s return after a long break.
