Roots Beauty Riddim – Imd-Widdimaddict

IMD-Widdimaddict’s Roots Beauty Riddim sits neatly in that early-2021 wave of smaller roots projects that lean on mood more than big-star packaging. There’s a clean, earthy feel to it, with the production keeping the pulse warm and steady while the vocals stay close to the message: Atawon Mawon’s “Burning Faya” has the kind of militant uplift that sets the tone, Dedess turns in a tight cut with “Kité Yo, ” and Profecy’s “Pa jigé” brings a firmer conscious edge. Deezy shows up twice, including “Euwo Dola” and a remix of the title cut, which runs long enough to act like the project’s centerpiece and stretch the riddim’s whole atmosphere. The closing “Fo Zami’w” from Xanaton Mooss leaves the set on a focused, rootsy note.
