The I Riddim – Various Artists

THE I RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2007

A three-cut 2007 reggae juggling, The I Riddim keeps the focus tight with 3 Suns’ “Bump On It” leading the way, and the whole thing leans into a clean, rootsy one-drop feel rather than trying to overcrowd the beat. Scarface’s “Gimme That Gyal” brings the more direct dancehall pressure, while Slamma Cutta’s “Never Know” sits a little looser and gives the rhythm some room to breathe, so the set has a nice push-and-pull between chant and melody. With no flashy producer name attached, the interest is in the cut selection itself: three artists, three very different approaches, all riding the same 2007 framework. The tracklist runs 3 Suns – “Bump On It, ” Scarface – “Gimme That Gyal, ” and Slamma Cutta – “Never Know. ”

The I Riddim Tracklist:
