Psychology Riddim – Rising Sun Records

A slow-burn pulse runs through Psychology Riddim, with Shawn McClymont shaping the 2005 set for Rising Sun Records into a rootsy meditation that still leaves room for tougher edges. Luciano’s “Good To Be Loved” sits right at the heart of it, and when you hear that beside Sizzla’s “Long Long Long” and Jah Mason’s “Mek Wi Gadda, ” the riddim’s warm, searching mood really comes into focus. Chrisinti, Turbulence, and Lukie D are in the mix too, so the project keeps shifting between uplift, warning, and straight gospel-rooted reflection without losing its centre. It’s one of those mid-2000s reggae compilations that feels a little more thoughtful than the average juggling, right down to the closing version.
