Sudden Charge Riddim – DJ Karim

DJ Karim’s 2010 Sudden Charge Riddim keeps the focus on a compact seven-song run, with no wasted space: Karim handles the title cut himself, then hands the rhythm to Emmanuel Stain, Kimmie At Dem, Lutan Fyah, Moeish, Pressure, and Professor. Lutan Fyah’s “The Uniform” gives the set its strongest anchor, while Pressure’s “Love and No Pain” and Professor’s “She Calls Me” keep the vibe moving through conscious roots territory. The sequencing is straightforward, with the riddim cut leading the vocal versions and a clean little stack of songs following behind it. It’s a small one-riddim project, but the lineup pulls from a nice spread of voices for the year 2010.
