Rebel Chant Riddim – Top Rankin Records

Top Rankin Records’ Rebel Chant Riddim arrived in 2020 as a five-track reggae juggling, with Black Omolo’s Mind Over Matter, Jah Wyz’s Free, Torch’s Crucial and Yaadcore’s Tension carrying the vocal side before the instrumental version closes it out. Torch, Black Omolo and Yaadcore give the release its shape, and the set fits neatly into Top Rankin’s catalog with its rootsy, chant-led feel and compact format. It’s a straightforward but memorable mid-2020 release, the kind of conscious riddim that leans on a tight groove and a small, well-chosen artist lineup rather than heavy production tricks.
