Step By Step Riddim (2011) – Rumble Rock Recordz

Anthony B sets the tone on Step By Step Riddim with “Wonderful World, ” and that strong opening fits the rest of Rumble Rock Recordz’s 2011 roots-heavy cut, where voices like Black Prophet, Faianatur, Ras Gabriel and The Lambsbread keep the message conscious and spiritual. The set runs through 19 tracks in all, including a version cut titled “Step By Step Riddim, ” which gives the compilation a proper dubplate-style finish rather than just a straight vocal run. Rumble Rock Recordz was working out of Hawaii around this period, and the label’s ear for roots singers is already clear here. The tracklist also includes “Who Feels It Knows, ” “A New Life” and “Zion Way. ”
