Taxi Plus Riddim – Various Artists

Taxi Plus Riddim sits in the mid-2000s Taxi family of releases, a name that always carries a little extra weight in reggae because of the Sly and Robbie lineage behind the classic Taxi imprint. This 2007 set keeps the focus on vocal variety rather than star billing, with Lutan Fyah’s “Them A Carbon” and Perfect’s “Im So Powerful” pushing the sharper-conscious side, while Erup, Christopher, and Raw Deal steer the riddim through more melodic and streetwise corners. The title cut also leaves space for a version, and the sequencing runs like a proper session: song after song, then the instrumental, then one final tune to close it out.
