Sunrise Riddim (2018) – Black African Museum

The Sunrise Riddim rolls out as a clean, mid-tempo dancehall set with a warm, roots-leaning pulse rather than the usual frantic digital rush, so the vocalists get room to breathe over the groove. Black African Museum lines up seven cuts here, with Eesah’s “Call On Me, ” Omari’s “Sweet Sweet Jamaica, ” and Iwata’s “Heart Of The Ghetto” doing most of the heavy lifting, while Shay and Silkki Wonda keep the energy moving. Coming after the label’s 2017 Upful Reggae project, this one feels like the dancehall-side companion piece: less militant, more melodic, and geared toward songs about love, country pride, and survival. It also sits neatly alongside the producer’s broader African Museum catalogue, where the emphasis tends to be on conscious licks and straight-ahead riddim work rather than gimmicks.
