Motivation Riddim (2016) – One Ton Records

One Ton Records goes more reflective than explosive on Motivation Riddim, a 2016 roots-leaning set that leans into encouragement, uplift, and forward motion instead of flashy crossover tricks. Phenomden’s “Nah Give Up” and Omari’s “Keep Moving On” set the tone early, while Angel Doolas brings a tougher edge on “Things I Used to Do” and Raging Fyah closes the circle with the title cut. The lineup is nicely balanced, mixing established voices with singers who suit the meditative feel of the riddim, and Angel Doolas is the one name here that gives the project a little extra weight for longtime listeners. It plays like a carefully sequenced run of seven songs, with each cut placed to keep the mood steady rather than chase big surprises.
