Mr Dc Riddim – Jammys Records

Jammys Records taps into the old “Mr DC” name here, and the whole thing feels like a nod back to that Sugar Minott-era touchstone while keeping the focus on lean, vocal-driven reggae. The 2005 cut runs short and direct: Collin Roach’s “All Over You, ” Jimmy Riley’s “Brother To Brother, ” Pad Anthony’s curt “Mi Nuh Inna It, ” and Paul Elliott’s “Self Distruct” all ride the same frame without anyone overplaying their hand. That economy suits Jammys, a label that long knew how to strip a rhythm down and let the singers do the talking. Compared with some of the bigger, more crowded Jammys sets, this one is tighter and more intimate, more about message and cadence than spectacle. It sits neatly in the catalogue as a compact roots-reggae nod with just enough grit to keep the edge.
