Street Swing Riddim – In The Streetz Records

In The Streetz Records keeps Street Swing Riddim in that early-2000s roots-dancehall pocket, where the groove has a light, skanking sway but still leaves room for hard-edged uplift and chants. The line-up does the talking: Luciano’s “Watch What You Doing, ” Lutan Fyah’s “Never Stop Hail Rastafari, ” and Sizzla’s “Chant Dem Down” give it heavyweight rebel energy, while Gyptian and Bunny Rugs pull the riddim into smoother, more melodic territory. Jah Mason, Natural Blacks, Norris Man, and Turbulence add more fire and conscience, and Wayne Marshall’s “I’ll Be Aiming High” closes things with a sharper crossover touch. Released in 2006, it sits right in the era when roots revival lyrics and dancehall polish were sharing the same lane.
