Rasta Lover Riddim – Everything Natural Muzik

By 2016, reggae riddims were still leaning hard into rootsy throwbacks, and Rasta Lover Riddim fit neatly into that lane with a warm, unhurried groove from Everything Natural Muzik. The set keeps it tight at four cuts, which means Michael Palmer’s “Don’t Switch” gets room to breathe, while Sugar Minott’s “True Love (Remix)” carries that veteran sweetness he could still turn on without sounding forced. Yami Bolo’s “Rasta Sojah” is the one that really locks into the conscious feel of the rhythm, riding it with that same steady conviction he’s always brought to roots material. The instrumental closes things out cleanly, and the release date in late May 2016 gives it that mid-year roots session vibe rather than a rushed compilation assembled for the sake of volume.
