The Waiting Riddim (2017) – Andrae Palmer

In 2017, when a lot of reggae productions were leaning hard into clean digital arrangements and roots-minded message tunes, Andrae Palmer’s The Waiting Riddim sat right in that lane with seven gospel-tinged cuts from seven different voices. AG Ikonn’s “Stay Focus” and Dawit Jeffery’s “Waiting On You Lord” set the tone early, while Gospel Melody’s “My God Is Real” and Kemar Jones’ “Grateful” push the spiritual side without losing the forward motion. Palmer keeps the rhythm tight and uncluttered, letting the singers carry the weight over a straightforward reggae groove that feels built for testimony rather than big studio gloss. The full set runs from AG Ikonn through YI’s “There’s a Love Out There, ” with all seven tracks credited to the 2017 production by Andrae Palmer.
