Sparkling Riddim – Twelve 9 Records And Zionnoiz Freeze Records

Sparkling Riddim comes in bright and clean, with a laid-back reggae pulse that leaves room for the vocals to do most of the talking. Laza Morgan’s “Give You The World” leans into a smooth, romantic feel, while T. O. K. get a second bite at “Missing You” with both raw and radio cuts, giving the riddim a slightly wider edge than a straight one-off single would. Leonardo’s “A Cheater’s Regret” keeps the theme in the breakup lane, but it’s the whole mini-package that matters here: just five tracks, all from 2013, and a tidy little snapshot of Twelve 9 Records and Zionnoiz Freeze working in tandem before the year’s reggae riddim field got crowded.
