Queen Of Minstrel Riddim – Energy Production

Energy Production’s Queen Of Minstrel Riddim sits in that early-2000s stretch where the label was still shaping its catalog around sturdy roots-reggae patterns and a small, focused cast. The cut here is lean rather than crowded, with Anthony B’s “Not Guilty” and Glen Washington’s “I’ll Sing My Song” doing most of the heavy lifting: Anthony B leans into the song’s moral edge, while Washington’s smoother delivery gives the rhythm a more reflective pull. Sizzla’s “The One I Love” adds a sharper current to the set, and the version cut keeps the riddim itself front and center. It’s a compact 2001 release, just four tracks in all, which makes it feel more like a snapshot than a big compilation.
