The Bulletproof Riddim (2021) – Wayne Lyrics

The Bulletproof Riddim sits in Wayne Lyrics’ 2021 production run with Reggae Wave Records, and it’s one of those sets that wears its message in the titles: “Every Day Is a Gunshot, ” “System Is a Fraud, ” “Place a Run Dread. ” Released in April 2021, the project runs 16 songs deep and leans on a sturdy mix of voices, with Anthony B, Chrisinti, Little Kirk, Jigsy King and Lukie D doing much of the heavy lifting. The opener with Anthony Johnson sets a sharp, militant tone, while “Real Jamaican” and “Mile’s to Go” keep the riddim moving between social commentary and rootsy melody. Wayne Lyrics spaces the sequencing so the more reflective cuts sit beside the tougher ones, and the two versions of “Eye Wata” near the end feel like a deliberate closing nod rather than an afterthought.
