Olawd Riddim – Stevie P Music Productions

From Jamaica’s 2021 reggae stream, Stevie P Music Productions came with O’Lawd Riddim as a compact six-cut session that leans warm and rootsy rather than flashy, with a steady one-drop pulse, crisp guitar chop and enough bass weight to keep the groove grounded. Head Top opens it with “Some People, ” while Amanda Judah’s “Crank It Up” and Bush Tea’s “The Best of Love” keep the energy moving in different shades of heartfelt commentary and lover’s rock ease. Cess Myers’ “Only Jah Jah (Remix)” and Sista Miriam’s “Salvation” tilt the set into firmer spiritual territory, and Anthony Bassie Clarke closes with “Grown Up People, ” a tune that gives the whole project a mature, reflective finish. It’s the kind of clean, singer-friendly riddim that still felt very much in step with the early-2020s return to conscious reggae.
