Proposal Riddim – Somagnificent

Somagnificent’s Proposal Riddim sits in that 2016 wave of roots-leaning juggling where the emphasis is on love songs and clean voicing rather than big gimmicks. The set is tight, with just four vocal cuts around the version, and Bittah’s “Sosicka This Ring” and Jah Defender’s “Keep On Loving Me” give it the warmest pull, both riding the instrumental with a straightforward, earnest tone. Glanzah’s “Cant Do Without” leans into the same theme from a more devotional angle, while Splaash closes it out with “Climax, ” which nudges the energy up a notch before the bare riddim takes over. With no clutter and no overcooking, it feels like a small but tidy release from late 2016, the kind of compact one-riddim project that marked the year’s reggae catalogue.
