Score Riddim – Jammys Records

Low-slung. Jammys’ Score Riddim has that early-2000s reggae roll that feels trimmed for singers who know how to work a hook, and Anthony Cruz’s “Foolish” sets the tone with a smooth, regret-tinged edge before Cocoa Tea turns “Saturday Night” into the kind of laid-back cut only he can pull off. There’s a nice line running through the set from Bushman’s roots-minded “Travel The World” to Lukie D’s “Too Far, ” with Thriller U and Daville adding a more polished, radio-ready touch on top of the same frame. Ten tracks, ten different voices, and one of those Jammys productions that keeps the arrangements lean enough to let the melodies do the heavy lifting, right down to Upsurge’s “What A Mighty God” at the end.
