One Up Riddim – G-T Muzik

One Up Riddim from G-T Muzik sits right in that mid-2000s conscious-reggae pocket, with a 2007 release date and a roll call that leans hard on roots voices and uplift cuts. Anthony B and Singer J open things with “Girls Dem Love We, ” while George Nooks, Natural Black, Prezident Brown and Sizzla all fit the riddim’s message-minded frame, and the instrumental version is tucked in to underline the pattern. George Taylor is credited on the GT label side, and the set also pulls in names like Chuck Fender, Ninjaman and Lutan Fyah on the wider listing, which tells you this one had enough momentum to gather a strong selection around it. The production feels stripped back and stern rather than flashy, with a steady skank, a firm bass line and vocals riding the groove in a clipped, no-nonsense style.
