Righteousness Riddim (2021) – Yam And Banana

Warm, rootsy, and a little militant around the edges, Righteousness Riddim from Yam and Banana leans into that serious reggae pulse with enough swing to keep the chanting lines moving. Junior Morgan and Skan King open the set with “Tell the Truth, ” while Da Fuchaman’s “Valleys of Righteousness” and Empress Talibah’s “Give the Power” bring the clearest consciousness message, and Roe Delgado’s “Te Mereces Ser Feliz” adds a welcome Spanish-language touch. The six-track set also pairs Tasungie with King Salaman, plus Jah Garvey alongside Niggi Tallawah on “Hard a Yard, ” keeping the vocal mix tight rather than overcrowded. Released in 2021, it sits comfortably in that wave of modern roots riddims that favour message and melody over flash, with the production keeping the low end steady and the arrangement uncluttered.
