Respond Riddim produced by Pow Pow Productions 2009
Respond comes in like a clean roots set with a militant edge, the sort of Pow Pow Productions cut that leans on sturdy drums, a rolling bassline and singers who favour message over flash. Gentleman’s title track sets the tone, while Lutan Fyah’s “No Tribulation” and Natural Black’s “Manipulate” keep the pressure on with straight, conscious turns. It sits comfortably alongside the label’s earlier work on riddims like Blaze and Follow, though this one feels a touch more measured and patient, letting the vocalists carry the weight. Pow Pow had a knack for pairing European clarity with a Jamaican-rooted sensibility, and Respond fits that catalogue neatly, with Anthony Locks, Levy Mayers and Malijah adding depth to a nine-track spread that keeps its focus on uplift and commentary.
