Relationships Riddim (2022) – Drop Di Bass Records

Relationships Riddim came out in 2022 from Drop Di Bass Records and lines up a compact reggae cast around love-themed cuts from Kvon, Diligence, Prohgres, Junior Fearon, Sacaj, Ffurious, Isheeba Whyne, Wise Man and Freddie Kruger. The set runs 10 tracks with 9 different artists, including a duplicate edit of Sacaj’s Do Me Like That, which gives the release a slightly club-ready feel alongside the vocal tunes. Prohgres’ Woman Like You is one of the key cuts, and Junior Fearon’s Like a Final brings a smoother, melodic touch to the project. Drop Di Bass Records has been steadily building a catalogue of rootsy and contemporary reggae riddims, and here they keep the focus on relationship songs and singable hooks rather than heavy instrumentals.
