Lust And Love Riddim – Various Artists

Set in the 2007 reggae riddim run, Lust And Love lands as a tight three-song juggling rather than a sprawling compilation, with Buju Banton, Prezident Brown, and Tarrus Riley taking the same backing in quick succession. That gives the project a focused feel, and the sequencing matters: Buju opens with the reflective “Relive My Life, ” Prezident Brown leans into the title cut, and Tarrus Riley closes with “Farmers Anthem, ” which shifts the mood toward roots commentary. It’s a small lineup, but the names carry weight, and the producer’s choice to keep the tracklist trimmed lets each voice register cleanly against the riddim’s heart-and-soul theme.
