Riddim Pow – Stingray Records

Seven cuts, nine artists, and Stingray Records keeps the focus on voices rather than gimmicks here, with Malachi and Louie Culture, Little Roy and Cassandra London, and The Heptones anchoring a line-up that moves from conscious pairings to straight roots uplift. Released in December 2021, Riddim Pow runs as a tidy one-riddim set, and the sequencing makes sense: the heavier names come early, then the project eases into newer voices like Rasites, Tenna Star, Claire Angel, and Errol Bonnick without losing its laid-back momentum. “So Secure” and “On My Own” set the tone fast, while The Heptones’ “Why Cant We” gives the whole thing a veteran’s weight.
