Superior Riddim – Pow Pow Productions

Produced by Pow Pow Productions in 2004, Superior Riddim gathers a strong roots-minded lineup with Anthony B, Daddy Rings, Elijah Prophet, Gentleman, Jah Mason, Lutan Fyah, Morgan Heritage, Tony Rebel and Turbulence all voicing the same cut. The title track from Gentleman and the heartfelt Daddy Rings tune Anything For Mama are among the more memorable songs here, while Elijah Prophet’s Kings Of Kings and Morgan Heritage’s Inna Dem Ting Deh add extra weight to the sequence. Ingo Rheinbay’s Pow Pow imprint was especially active in the early 2000s, and this set carries that polished, melodic sound the label became known for. The version closes things out cleanly, giving the riddim a full showcase from conscious messages to lover’s rock style touches.
