Positive Riddim – Trinity Records

A warm, rootsy pulse runs through Positive Riddim, the 2003 Trinity Records cut that keeps its focus tight with just three tracks and two vocal sides. Mark Wonder’s “Kingston City” leans into conscious street-level reggae, while Prince Theo’s “Jah Never Leave Us” brings a steadier devotional edge, both riding a clean version that leaves plenty of room for the bass and drum to breathe. The riddim’s mood is upbeat without getting sugary, with that early-2000s emphasis on message songs and compact one-riddim sets that still had real pull in sound system circles. It’s a small release, but the pairing of Wonder and Theo gives it enough weight to feel like a snapshot of the period.
