Overdose Riddim (2002) – Checkmate Records

Early-2000s roots heat: Overdose Riddim comes in as a tight four-song Checkmate Records set from 2002, with Ambelique’s “Hallelujah” leading the way alongside Delroy Williams on “Jah Is Watching You, ” Tk Smith on “Bless Me, ” and Worl-A-Girl’s “Overdose A Love. ” The sequencing keeps it lean, more like a compact vocal showcase than a sprawling juggling session, and the cuts sit on a straightforward reggae groove rather than chasing anything flashy. Checkmate keeps the focus on message tunes and melodic singers, with Ambelique and Delroy Williams carrying the heaviest weight here. Overdose Riddim lists four unique artists and four total tracks.
