Realday Riddim – Speakworld Productions

Realday Riddim comes through with a bright, keyboard-led reggae groove that feels tuned for the turn of the decade, light on its feet but still carrying enough low-end to keep the sound system honest. Speakworld Productions lines up a mixed crew around it: Bucky Jo and 2Bad lean into the slick “Faker” cut, Don Andre and Mikey Bashment bring the more direct street talk, while Texxus’ “Smile On My Face” and Tower T’s “Count On Me” add a smoother, more reflective edge. Fresh P’s “Iphone” is a neat little time-capsule detail too, nodding to how quickly dancehall was catching up with the new tech talk of 2010. With 10 tracks and 11 artists in the mix, this one sits right in that period when reggae riddims were shifting between roots feel and everyday digital culture.
