Rental Riddim – Charm Records

Charm Records keeps this one lean: just two songs and a version cut, with Glen Washington’s “The Way U Hold Me” leading off before Leroy Brown steps in with “Rent A Tile. ” The little three-track sequence gives the riddim its shape, moving from the vocal cuts straight into the instrumental so you hear the groove on its own after the singers have done their thing. Riddim-ID tags the set to Sly and Robbie, which fits the polished, heavyweight feel you’d expect from a 2003 reggae juggling. Glen Washington’s cut is the cleaner headline moment here, but Brown’s tune keeps the same steady pulse running through the side. Rental Riddim was issued in 2003.
