Rise Riddim – Tony Greene x Malory Williams

Rise Riddim – Tony Greene x Malory Williams 2009

Rise Riddim has that late-2000s rootsy drive: clean one-drop pressure, a steady pulse, and enough low-end to keep the singers leaning into the groove instead of rushing it. Tony Greene and Malory Williams line up a strong cross-section of voices here, with George Nooks bringing the spiritual center on “Lord You Rescue Me, ” Richie Stephens cutting through on “Taking Whats Mine, ” and Sugar Minott adding veteran weight with “Action Speaks Louder Than Words. ” Pam Hall, Ruddy Thomas, and Nana McClean keep the set from feeling too male-heavy, while Malory Williams and Tony Greene also step in on the version cut and “Get Up Get Up. ” It’s a 2009 snapshot of a moment when conscious reggae compilations were still packing singalong hooks and message tunes into the same riddim package.
