Mango Tree Entertainment’s Nana-Gel Riddim sits in that mid-2010s run of conscious reggae juggling where the message does the heavy lifting, and the names on board give it some real pull. Capleton’s “Energy” comes in with that clenched-fist urgency he does so well, while Lutan Fyah’s “Knife In My Back” leans into the hard-edged, wary side of roots singing. Fantan Mojah’s “No Way” keeps the pressure on, and the whole set carries a steady 78 BPM feel, which gives the voices room to land without ever dragging. Released on March 10, 2017, the project also includes cuts from Deva Bratt, Spring Wata, Rockaz Elements and Harry Chapman, plus the instrumental “Gel Riddim, ” so it plays like a compact snapshot of socially minded reggae in that period.
