The Unknown Riddim (2021) – Room IN The Sky

Room In The Sky keeps The Unknown Riddim tight and rootsy, with a warm one-drop pulse and that live-band feel that leaves space for the singers to work. Winston Reedy opens it with “Flash It Natty Dread, ” a cut that leans into old-school uplift, while Robert Dallas and The Inn House Crew turn “Strictly Love” into the smoothest hook on the set. Joseph Cotton’s “Freedom Is Calling” pushes the message side a little harder, and the crew’s own instrumental version lets the groove breathe on its own. Released in February 2021 and issued on a pair of 7-inch sides, it sits neatly in Room In The Sky’s ongoing habit of making compact reggae riddims that sound made for selector use as much as home listening.
