Sweet Sour Riddim – Greezzly Productions

Greezzly Productions’ Sweet Sour Riddim sits in the label’s 2012 reggae run as a compact seven-song set, and the cast keeps it interesting without overloading the vibe: Perfect Giddimani opens with “Herbs For Me, ” Skarra Mucci turns in the spiritually minded “The House Of The Lord, ” and Teacha Dee’s “I Will Try Again” adds a reflective note to the whole thing. The riddim itself leans into a warm, mid-tempo roots feel with enough swing to keep the vocals moving, while the version cut at the end lets the instrumental breathe on its own. Don Tippa’s “My Lady” and Ice’s “Tell Me You Love Me” fill out the lineup, giving the project a tidy sequence that moves from conscious singing to lover’s rock phrasing.
