Livity Riddim (2004) – Kirkledove Records

Warm cut. Kirkledove’s 2004 Livity Riddim leans into a rootsy, mid-tempo pulse with a clean, conscious feel, and the six-voice lineup keeps it focused rather than crowded. Chrisinti’s “The Righteous” and Determine’s “Red Hot” give it the sharpest edge, while Lenn Hammond smooths things out on “Over And Out” and Turbulence brings a more devotional tone on “Ur My All. ” It’s the sort of one-riddim set that sits comfortably alongside Kirkledove’s other early-2000s reggae work: spiritually minded, uncluttered, and built for singers who can carry a message without needing much studio dressing. With Brah Yhan and Macky Conscious filling out the selection, Livity lands as a compact snapshot of that label’s straight-ahead conscious style.
