Secs Drive Riddim

Secs Drive leans into a compact, vocalist-heavy 2009 reggae set, with six cuts and seven artists riding the same rhythm. Cecile’s “Mood For Love” sets a smoother tone, while Delly Ranx and Chico’s “Im Going Crazy” and Terry Ganzie’s “Sorry” pull the riddim into sharper, more street-level territory. New Kidz, Real Mc Koy and Tok keep the rotation moving without the project ever drifting far from its rootsy, mid-tempo pulse. The interesting twist here is how the lineup mixes established names with less familiar voices, giving the riddim a little more range than the track count suggests. Cecile’s “Mood For Love” feels like the cleanest hook in the pack, but Terry Ganzie is the one who leaves the strongest mark with “Sorry. ”
