Kingston Riddim (2012) – Magz Records

Kingston in 2012 gave us this tidy little reggae set from Magz Records, a seven-track riddim built for singers rather than big-name spectacle, with Anthony Que’s “Can’t Get Enough” sitting right in the pocket of the project. Shel K opens with the tougher “Gun Man, ” while Freeky and Singer Jah push the sweeter side on “All Over Again” and “Inna Reggae, ” so the whole thing feels like a quick tour through different moods on the same frame. The production keeps a lean, rootsy pulse without getting fussy, and that’s what lets the voices carry the weight; Chris Hart’s “Pull Up” closes things with a neat little lift, almost like a final cue to run it back.
