Rally Round Riddim – Hmg Records

HMG Records’ Rally Round Riddim sits right in that early-2000s reggae lane where conscious lyrics and tight one-drop pulse do the heavy lifting. Issued in 2001, the set keeps the focus on message songs rather than flashy vocal tricks, with Jah Mason’s “Care And Share” and Christini’s “New Jerusalem” pointing the cut toward uplift and spiritual fire. Lms’ “Five Hundred Family” adds a more grounded social angle, while Ulitimate closes the sequence with “Haffi Bun Dem, ” giving the riddim a sharper edge at the end. Four voices, four different takes, and HMG keeps the production lean enough for each tune to land cleanly.
