Taxi Riddim – Taxi Records (2006/2007)

Built on Sly and Robbie’s Taxi production for Taxi Records, Taxi Riddim lands as a 2006/2007 reggae set with a heavyweight cast that includes Beenie Man, Buju Banton, Bounty Killer, Capleton, Elephant Man, Junior Reid and Luciano. The cut gets especially memorable on Beres Hammond and Buju Banton’s Mood To Kill A Sound, while Baby Cham’s Babylon Bway, Vybz Kartel’s Taxi Remix and Yellowman’s Bam Bam add extra weight to the lineup. Orville Rorey Baker and K. Asonuma are also credited on the production side, and the compilation shows how Taxi kept moving between rootsy swing and dancehall energy while still sounding tightly linked to the Sly and Robbie sound.
