Reggae Rage Riddim – World Hits Records

World Hits Records’ 2016 Reggae Rage Riddim sits among the label’s mid-2010s juggling work, and it leans into a warm roots-reggae groove that leaves room for voices to breathe. Determine’s “I Never Fail” and General Trees’ “Up Town” are the cuts that grab first, while Jah Be turns up twice, opening with “I Wanna Live” and later coming back on “Soundbwoy Duppy Mek, ” which gives the set a bit of extra muscle at the top and tail. The whole sequence runs 15 tracks deep and moves through names like Nature, Power Saw, Ras Bogle, Wayne Palmer and Ancient One without losing its steady pulse. Released in June 2016, it closes with World Hits Records’ own title track, keeping the riddim’s identity firmly tied to the imprint that cut it.
