Stand Guard Riddim – Imperial Movement

Six cuts deep, Stand Guard Riddim keeps the focus tight, with Lutan Fyah’s “Gongsta” and Perfect Giddimani’s “Jungle Justice” anchoring a lineup that leans toward roots-minded dancehall rather than pure party mode. Imperial Movement frames the project with a stern, militant pulse: hard drums, spare melody, and enough grit to leave room for the voices to carry their own weight. Andi Ites’ “Rise We A Rise” adds a more uplifted chant, while Fyakin’s “I Love Marijuana” tilts the mood into rastaman-lifestyle territory without breaking the riddim’s discipline. Goldy’s “Dem A Hype” keeps the swagger intact, and the instrumental closer, “Stand Guard Riddim, ” seals the set with the same clipped, vigilant energy that runs through the whole 2016 release.
