Queens Of Queens Riddim – Larger Than Life Records

Queens Of Queens Riddim came out in 2012 on Larger Than Life Records, with Delly Ranx tied into the production side as well. It is a roots-minded juggling that keeps a warm, old-school pulse but still feels current for the era, with steady one-drop movement, earthy bass, and a clean, no-frills backdrop that leaves room for the singers and deejays to work. The title track version sits comfortably beside the vocal cuts rather than acting as filler, which is part of why the set has aged well.

The lineup reads like a strong snapshot of early-2010s reggae cross-pollination. Sizzla’s “Things Get Tough” brings the usual fire and urgency, while Chronixx’s “See Her Face” catches him in the run-up to his breakthrough years, already sounding smooth and melody-led. Gappy Ranks adds his UK-rooted, singjay touch on “Riverside, ” and Lutan Fyah’s “Deliver Me Jah” pushes the conscious tone deeper into devotional territory. Pressure Busspipe’s “Queen Of Queens” matches the name of the riddim with a more romantic angle, while Bobby Hustle’s “Real Ganja Man” and Delly Ranx’s “Pass The Herbs” give the set its weed-conscious backbone. Perfect Giddimani’s “All Aint Well” and Winstrong’s “Gun Fool” sharpen the social commentary.

What makes the project click is the balance: enough heavyweight names to give it pull, but enough stylistic variety to keep the juggling from feeling repetitive. It is a tidy piece of 2012 reggae production with a lineup that now looks even better in hindsight.
