Luv A Dub Riddim – Various Artists

LUV A DUB RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2007

A dozen cuts deep, Luv A Dub Riddim is one of those 2007 dancehall sets that pulls in voices from across the reggae spectrum, with Junior Reid fronting Alicia Keys’ “No One” cover, Spragga Benz cutting through on “Don’t Go Down, ” and Rupee and Nadine Sutherland adding a more melodic, radio-friendly edge. The riddim has a smooth, mid-tempo feel with enough bass weight to keep it rooted in dancehall, while the line between lovers rock sentiment and straight party energy stays nicely blurred as Gramps Morgan, Peetah Heritage, Mojo Morgan and Irie Love move through the same rhythm from different angles. The project carries 12 tracks in all, and the closing slot goes to Trevor Off Key’s “On My Way. ”
