Rain Wata Riddim (2008) – Tads Records

Chezidek leads the Rain Wata Riddim with “Sun Or Rain, ” the sort of title that fits the mood of a rootsy one-riddim set from Tad’s Records, and he’s backed by a cast that includes Perfect’s “Police Boy, ” Jahbalance’s “Rain A Fall, ” and Zamunda’s “Jah Love. ” The sequence keeps the weather theme rolling track by track, with Cherise King and Chai opening on “One And Only” and the set closing on the instrumental version of the riddim itself, which gives the project that extra dub-friendly finish. Across the board, the voices sit on a steady reggae groove rather than anything flashy, and the titles lean into everyday struggle, romance, and street life. Rain Wata Riddim was issued in 2008 and lists ten vocal cuts plus the instrumental.
