Mid Week Riddim – Remla Productions

Dajay’s “End Times” gives Mid Week Riddim its sharpest opening shot, setting the tone for a six-track 2013 set from Remla Productions that leans into conscious reggae with a fairly lean, singer-heavy lineup. Dawit Jeffery on “You Save Me” and Yi on “If You Only Knew” keep the message front and center, while the pairings on “Cry Of My Heart” with Ebony and “Sometimes” with Daneke add a little extra lift without crowding the riddim. Compared with Remla’s earlier 2012 Just Me project, this one feels a touch more compact and focused, less sprawling, with the vocal hooks doing most of the work. It sits neatly in the label’s small run of early-2010s roots-minded releases, the kind of midweek soundtrack that keeps the emphasis on songcraft rather than big studio flash.
