Tabia Riddim Pt 2 – A.L.T.A.F.A.N

Anthony Cruz gives Tabia Riddim Pt. 2 a sharp entry point with “Hit Me Up, ” but the real pull here is how the riddim carries a veteran-heavy cast through a warm, steady roots groove. Bob Andy’s “You Turn Me On, ” Everton Blender’s “Carmelita, ” and Keith and Tex’s “Gwaan Gal” bring that old-school weight, while Daddy Rings, Ras Shiloh, Lymie Murray, and Althea Hewitt keep the mood rooted in lovers rock and conscious uplift. Anthony Senior closes the circle with the instrumental, and the whole set runs like a tidy 16-track showcase from 2016, when producers were still giving singers room to stretch over classic, melodic reggae beds instead of chasing harder digital sounds.
