Through The Fire Riddim – Mad Scientist

“Through The Fire” comes across as a lean, voice-first Mad Scientist production rather than a sprawling showcase, and that focus suits the three-cut setup nicely. Delly Ranx opens with “Past The Worst, ” bringing the kind of seasoned, straight-talking delivery that always lands well on a roots-leaning one-riddim, while Nanko’s “Ethan” and TOK’s “Wanna Love You” keep the energy warm and melodic without drifting away from the riddim’s earthy pull. The production has a dry, steady pulse under it, the sort of mid-2000s reggae framework that leaves room for the vocals to carry the weight, and TOK’s presence gives the set a familiar crossover edge. Issued in 2008, the release runs just three tracks deep: Delly Ranx, Nanko and TOK.
