Rusty Lass Riddim – Yam And Banana

Rough-cut warmth. Rusty Lass Riddim comes in as a digital one-drop with that early-2000s reggae feel, sharp enough for sound systems but still carrying a rootsy swing underneath. Yam and Banana lined up 11 tracks around it, with Da Fuchaman and Junior Morgan on “Lie Dem a Tell, ” Jah Mason teaming with Mad Sam on “Wrap Up a Spliff, ” and Niggi Tallawah’s “New Era” giving the set one of its most direct cuts. The release closes with the instrumental version, which keeps the arrangement plain and lets the organ-led bounce do its work. Produced by Uri Green for Yam and Banana in Bristol, it was issued on 18 March 2021.
