Mandate Riddim – Stainless Music

Sizzla sets the tone on Mandate Riddim with “Your Body Your Choice, ” and that’s the track that anchors the whole juggling. Stainless Music keeps the package lean: six voices across ten cuts, with each song split into clean and raw versions, plus the instrumental at the end. Jah Malo follows with “Big Chop, ” Ice Cold leans into “Proud of Your Body, ” and Sav Lucky Star’s “Yaadman” keeps the local-dancehall energy moving before Wiski D closes the list with “No Movement Day. ” The riddim itself sits in that mid-tempo zone where the kick has room to breathe and the vocals carry the attitude, more street-corner than sound-system bombast. But it’s Sizzla’s contribution that gives the release its center of gravity, especially with “Your Body Your Choice” turning the chant into the kind of hook that sticks.
