My Fortitude Riddim – Vmf Records

Out of Chile’s reggae corner, My Fortitude Riddim finds VMF Records leaning into a rootsy, conscious lane with a sturdy one-drop pulse and enough room for the voices to do the talking. Andi Ites’ Never Sell Out and Ezekiah Rose’s Dont Burn U Bridge carry the set’s upright, no-compromise spirit, while Fikir Amlak’s Legacy and I Triniti’s Jah Is Life push the message deeper into Rastafari territory. Crespo Salem’s Mi Fortaleza adds a Spanish-language touch, and Jah Rain’s Love Jah gives the riddim a softer devotional turn. The full lineup runs ten cuts deep, including Mada Nile’s Nuh Easy and Cupidore’s I Got The Power, so the release sits right in that mid-2010s wave of regional reggae productions where small labels were keeping conscious juggling alive outside the usual Kingston spotlight.
