Revival Dub Riddim – Black Scorpio Records

Black Scorpio’s Revival Dub Riddim lands in that early-2000s roots pocket where the bass stays warm and the drums keep a steady, unhurried pull, and the cut that really anchors it is Luciano’s “Serve Jah, ” sitting alongside Jah Thunder’s “Know My Heart” and Jimmy Riley’s “Dance With Me Baby” with the same upright, prayerful mood. There’s a nice spread here too: Mikey General brings “Let There Be Love” into the set, Prestige fires off “Wicked People, ” and the riddim closes with its version, which keeps the whole six-track run tied together cleanly. Gregory Isaacs is also listed on some database entries for the pattern, but the core release as circulated in 2003 centers on those six vocal cuts from Black Scorpio Records, with the dub version rounding it out at the end.
