Rebellion Riddim – Vertex Productions

2005 was a strong year for roots-minded reggae riddims, and Rebellion lands right in that militant, conscious pocket with five vocals riding Vertex Productions’ cut. Gyptian’s “Bring It On” and Fantan Mojah’s “Murderer” give the rhythm its sharpest edge, while Bescenta’s “Universal Love” softens the mood a little without losing the tension underneath. The set keeps its focus tight, with Pam Hall and X-Ray’s “Must Rebel” pushing the message home over a steady, unflashy groove. Bertus closes things out on “Reckless Life, ” which leaves the project with the same stern, street-level energy it opens with.
