Red Dice Riddim – Various Artists

RED DICE RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2007

By 2007, Red Dice Riddim was one of those compact reggae various-artist sets that let the songs do the talking, with seven cuts and seven different voices moving over the same version. Jah Fire’s “I See Your Face (Within My Dreams)” and Teddy B’s “Spread The Love” sit nicely beside the tougher push of Terror Force’s “Keep Going Strong, ” while Digital Reign’s instrumental “Red Dice Riddim Version” gives the whole thing its shape. The production credit is listed simply as Various Artists, which keeps the spotlight on the selector’s job here: a rootsy, mid-tempo foundation with enough room for each singer to carve out a different mood. Jah Defender, Napthali and Prince Jaddai all get their turn across the riddim, and the tracklist closes out with Terror Force’s cut.
