Motherland Riddim (2017) – Foota Hype Music

Foota Hype’s Motherland Riddim landed in 2017 with a rootsy, Nyabinghi-leaning feel that gives the whole set a more meditative pull than the average dancehall juggling. The lineup is tight rather than crowded, with I-Octane’s “Where Is The Love” and Nesbeth’s “Success Story” carrying the heaviest emotional weight, while Fully Badd and Jah Vinchi keep the energy edged and militant on “Stick Bruck Inna Dem Ears” and “Walk Through Fire. ” Foota was already known as a selector before stepping deeper into production, and this one shows that ear for songs with a message. The instrumental closes things out cleanly, but it’s Nesbeth’s “Success Story” that leaves the lasting imprint here.
