Midday Riddim – Vybz Boxx Entertainment

A warm, mid-tempo reggae juggling with a soft late-afternoon pulse, Midday Riddim settles into a mellow groove without losing its edge. Vybz Boxx Entertainment keeps the riddim’s shape open enough for the voices to breathe, and Denham Smith’s “Don’t Know Why” sits neatly beside 1MrSmooth’s sharper “Russian Roulette, ” two cuts that catch the same reflective mood from different angles. There’s a nice thread running through the set, too, from the lovers-leaning “Love You For Life” to Qraig’s “Time To Let Go” and the steadier faith note of Jah Device’s “Be Strong. ” The full juggling runs eleven tracks, with a dub tucked in at the end, almost as a quiet sign-off.
