Ragga Muffin Power Riddim – Undisputed Records / Furybass

Undisputed Records and Furybass laced this one with a rootsy ragga swing that leaves plenty of room for sound system chatter and sharp mic work. The tracklist leans on a strong cross-section of voices: Tippa Irie rides the cut with “Another Day, Another City, ” Yami Bolo steps in with the militant “Babylon System, ” and the trio link-up “Roots Of All Evil 2. 0” pairs Million Stylez, Skarra Mucci and Tippa Irie in a neat old-school meeting of styles. Around them, Spectacular and David Slew, Joseph Cotton and Sr. Wilson, Lion D, Lmk and Lasai keep the energy moving through culture talk and tougher dancehall angles. If there’s one tune that really locks the tone, it’s Skarra Mucci’s “Sound Killer, ” which sets the pace with a direct, no-nonsense deejay attack and gives the whole riddim its edge.
