Saturday Night Riddim (2004) – Treasure Chest Records

Treasure Chest Records keeps this one tight and to the point: a four-track 2004 reggae set that leans on message music and a single clean version cut. Anthony B opens with “Lies And Cheating, ” riding the tune with the kind of direct social commentary that has always suited him, while Jah Mason’s “We Compliment Each Other” brings a warmer, more uplifting edge to the riddim. Natty’s “Angel” adds a softer, more melodic touch, and the bare version track at the end lets the rhythm breathe without any extra fuss. It’s not a crowded showcase, but that’s part of the charm here — a small, focused release from the mid-2000s that sits neatly in Treasure Chest’s catalog and catches that period when conscious roots singles were still carrying plenty of weight.
