Rain And Thunder Riddim – Diop Side Records

Bush Chemists open Rain And Thunder Riddim with the title cut, and that’s the right move: their roots-heavy delivery sets the tone before General D, Horace Martin, Kenny Knots and King Kong carry the same 2006 Diop Side groove in different directions. The lineup leans international, with voices from the UK, Jamaica and France, while the rhythm itself has that chugging, storm-dark feel suggested by the title rather than anything glossy or polished. Later turns from Lyricson and Nerious Joseph keep the session moving without breaking the mood, and the whole set runs eight vocal cuts deep with no filler side trips. Diop Side Records handles production throughout.
