No Doubt Riddim – Dub Inc

A French reggae detour, this one, with Dub Inc stepping off the mic and into the producer’s chair for a 2011 riddim session that pulls in a strong international cast. Busy Signal’s “Worldwide Love” and Capleton’s “A So We Stay” set the tone early, while Pressure, Omar Perry, and Tony Curtis keep the message moving through rootsy consciousness and clean one-drop pressure. The project also carries a little extra weight because Dub Inc folds in one of its own key cuts, “No Doubt” with Tarrus Riley, and closes the circle with “No Doubt Version. ” Dub Inc were already being talked about as part of France’s reggae resurgence around that period, and this release backs that up with a lineup that feels carefully chosen rather than thrown together. The Tarrus Riley pairing is the one that lingers.
