No More War Riddim -Platinum Camp Records (2014)

Spanner Banner opens No More War Riddim with “Who Feels It, ” and that tune sets the tone for the whole set: militant but measured, with the sort of roots pressure that leaves room for voices like Richie Spice on Snatcha Lion’s “No War” and Bascom X on “No Gun Play. ” Platinum Camp’s 2014 compilation keeps the message front and center, running through anti-violence cuts from Black Sheperd, Fyah Kush, Hiya Slice and the rest without drifting from the same stern Nyabinghi-rooted pulse. The sequencing leans hard into conscious talk, and the best moments come when the singers lock into the riddim’s steady, ceremonial swing. The release was issued as a 14-track reggae set in 2014.
