Revolution Time! Riddim – Xtm Nation

Xtm Nation’s Revolution Time! Riddim sits in that 2012 rootsy wing of the label’s catalogue, and it leans hard into serious, militant reggae rather than anything flashy. The cut has a sober, meditative pulse with low-slung bass, clipped drums, and enough space for the singers to carry the message cleanly. Richie Spice opens the tone with “All Kind Of Things, ” while Lutan Fyah’s “Tired Of The Suffering” pushes the hardest on the social commentary side; Jesse Royal’s “Bittersweet” adds a younger voice to the set without breaking the mood. Mikey Spice closes with “Jah Give I Love, ” which keeps the project grounded in uplift rather than bitterness, and the instrumental underneath all four tunes leaves the whole thing feeling like a compact, conscious roots session.
