Time Riddim (2002) – Down To Earth Production

Anthony B anchors Time Riddim with the title cut, and that alone gives the set a sharper edge than its four-song count might suggest. Down To Earth Production keeps the focus tight in classic 2002 dancehall style, with Chrisinti’s “This Fight, ” Lymie Paul’s “Jah Working Wonders, ” and Norris Man’s “Not Until It Be Known” circling the same straight-ahead pulse without crowding the arrangement. It’s a compact piece of work, the kind of riddim that leaves room for each voice to land cleanly, but Anthony B’s “Time” is the one that carries the most weight and sets the tone for the whole release.
