The Mission 12 Riddim – Culture Rock Records

The Mission 12 Riddim from Culture Rock Records has that determined early-2010s roots feel, the kind of steady, mission-statement groove that leaves room for the voices without crowding them. Ginjah and Michael Fabulous set the tone on “Still On The Mission, ” while Banjo Simmonds and Pluggy Terrible bring a tougher edge with “Rat Race, ” and Pzed’s “Africa We A Come” adds a more conscious push to the lineup. It’s a compact set with just four tracks, so the focus stays on the songs rather than any big studio trickery, and the version closes it out cleanly as the instrumental frame that holds the whole thing together.
