Lighthouse Riddim (2013) – Nite Lite Records And Macro Beats

Nite Lite Records and Macro Beats kept Lighthouse Riddim in the lean, early-2010s roots lane, with just three cuts and a clear focus on uplift rather than heavy juggling. Gappy Ranks opens the set with “Shining Hope, ” a song that already had some life around the time his album Shining Hope was due that September, and that same positive strain runs through Million Stylez’s “Jah Jah Is My God” and Chevaughn’s “It’s OK. ” The production feels bright and steady, with a clean reggae pulse that leaves room for the singers to lean into faith and encouragement instead of crowding the groove. It’s a compact showcase, and Chevaughn’s closing tune gives the project its calm finish.
