Natty Dread Riddim (1995) – Kariang

Natty Dread Riddim, produced by Kariang in 1995, lines up three roots-heavy cuts from Doniki and Steady Ranks, Prezident Brown, and Sister Carol. Doniki and Steady Ranks’ Hills And Valleys, Prezident Brown’s Rough Road, and Sister Carol’s I’ll Always Be A Ras each bring a different voice to the same foundation, with the set leaning firmly into conscious reggae and rastafarian themes. Kariang’s name is tied to a small but memorable slice of mid-90s reggae production, and this one captures that era’s stripped-back, vocal-driven sound with a clear Jamaican roots feel.
