Rasenie And Friends Riddim – Vp Records|Rhyno Cobre

Rasenie And Friends Riddim arrives as a 2016 VP Records and Rhyno Cobre production, a roots-minded juggling that pairs veteran voices with a couple of less familiar names. The strongest clue to its shape is in the cast: Luciano, Lady G and Lutan Fyah carry the weight here, each bringing a different corner of reggae’s vocal tradition into the same groove. Ras Enie turns up twice, which fits his long association with the Rhyno Cobre name and gives the set a more personal spine.

The riddim itself sits in that conscious reggae pocket where the bassline does most of the talking. It feels measured rather than frantic, with enough space for melody and message to land cleanly. Luciano’s “How Long” fits naturally into that meditative frame, while Lutan Fyah’s “Left Alone” pushes the familiar roots pressure and moral urgency he is known for. Lady G’s “Searching” adds a sharper deejay edge and a little more streetwise snap, which keeps the juggling from settling into one mood for too long.

“Peace And Unity” is the cut that best explains the project’s intent: this is music for reflection, but it still wants forward motion. “Bad Mind” and “Lonely Days” deepen the emotional range, and “Crab Inna Barrel” gives Alpha Rowen room to work with a proverb-heavy theme that suits the era well. Rasenie And Friends Riddim feels less like a one-off compilation and more like a carefully assembled roots statement with enough contrast between singers, deejays and styles to hold up as a proper release.
