Royal Roots Riddim – Royal Roots Studio

2022’s Royal Roots Riddim from Royal Roots Studio leans into a clean dancehall frame with six cuts and a tight, varied lineup. Ra Deal’s Chosen and Mama Afrika’s Life’s A Blessing set an uplifting tone, while Wormbass and Ch4se bring extra momentum on Hold On To Your Pride and Sean Quince aka Cold-Hearted Kid adds a tougher edge with One Drop. Richie Bangin’s U. O. I and Tekkk’s I’m Royal round out the project, which runs just over 21 minutes and keeps the focus on song-driven performances rather than heavy gimmicks. Royal Roots Studio gives the riddim a polished, roots-leaning feel, and the album was released in November 2022 under the Roots Riddim title in some listings.
