Never Give Up Riddim (2015) – Eleven Seven Records

The Never Give Up Riddim keeps its focus tight: six cuts, five voices, and a rhythm bed that leans more rootsy than flashy, with enough space for the dub versions to do their own work. Eleven Seven Records kept the lineup lean, pairing Lisa Dainjah’s “Neva Give Up” with Stikki Tantafari’s sharper “Exclude” and Bionic Clarke’s earthy “Farmer, ” then folding in Dubvisionist for two dub takeovers plus the instrumental. That setup gives the riddim a clean little arc, moving from vocal message tunes into stripped-back echo-space without losing the pulse. Lisa Dainjah’s “Neva Give Up” is the one that hangs around longest, but the Dubvisionist dubs push the production into more spacious, meditative territory and give the whole set its final shape.
