Kings Army Riddim – Dimmie Joe Muzik

A militant pulse runs through Kings Army Riddim, and Dimmie Joe Muzik frames it with the kind of steady one-drop feel that lets the voices do the heavy lifting. Wayne Wonder’s “Better Days” opens the door with a brighter, more hopeful edge, while Peetah Morgan’s “Gunz And Armor” and Gramps Morgan’s “Part Time Soldier” keep the theme locked in with sharp, soldier-minded lyrics. Sizzla, Nitty Kutchie, and Tanto Metro and Devonte push the same idea in different directions, giving the set a nice pull between uplift and streetwise grit. It’s a 2012 cut with 12 tracks in all, and that last Dimmie Joe Muzik version at the end ties the whole thing up neatly.
