Lion Claw Riddim – Nuchie Records

Lion Claw Riddim lands as a compact 2016 roots-reggae set from Nuchie Records, with ten cuts that lean into uplift, prayer, love, and perseverance rather than anything flashy. Nuchie and Lexie’s “I’m Sorry” sets a reflective tone, while Reign’s “Moving” and Keno Don’s “Never Fail I” keep the message moving in that same earnest lane, and the instrumental closer with Chill4ril gives the riddim room to breathe on its own. The production has that straight-ahead, mid-tempo reggae feel, warm and steady rather than overworked, which suits voices like Riley X, Neisa, and Shyana as they move through the lineup. It’s a tidy Nuchie Records showcase, ending with “Lion Claw (Instrumental)” as the final track on the ten-song selection.
