Struggle Riddim (2015) – Weedyg Soundforce

Weedy G Soundforce’s Struggle Riddim arrived in 2015 as a clean, vocal-driven reggae juggling built on perseverance and everyday pressure. The Swiss-based production outfit had already been carving out a name with polished roots and modern reggae releases, and this one sits neatly in that part of the catalogue, backed by VPAL Music and issued on May 19, 2015.

The riddim moves at a steady mid-tempo pace with a rootsy one-drop feel, leaving plenty of room for the singers to carry the weight. Christopher Martin opens with “That’s Why She Leave, ” bringing his usual smooth tenor and relationship-writing into the mix, while Perfect Giddimani’s “Spank” pushes a firmer conscious edge. Phantom’s “Nuh Give Up” and Jahwill’s “When We Fall” keep the survival theme moving, and Cookie The Herbalist’s “Mek A Change” and Kingseyes’ “Children Cry” give the set its strongest message cuts. The whole thing is rounded out by an instrumental version, which helps underline how much space the rhythm gives the voices.

What makes the release work is the balance between melody and meditation. Christopher Martin supplies the commercial lift, Perfect Giddimani adds grit, and the deeper-rooted selections from Kingseyes, Phantom and Jahwill keep the project anchored in struggle-and-rise reggae. It’s a tidy 2015 compilation that feels made for sound system juggling as much as home listening.
