True Melody Riddim – Street Block Records

Street Block Records’ True Melody Riddim arrived in 2014 as a nine-track reggae juggling that pulls together Jah Vinci, Munga, Sizzla, Floyd West, Fame Stylez and others on one concise set. The cut leans on strong singjay and roots-dancehall energy, with standout selections like Jah Vinci’s Enemies A Walk, Munga’s Hungry Days, and Sizzla’s Love Me giving the project most of its weight. The title also crops up in a later Street Blocks Records release catalog, but this original version is the 2014 one tied to the fuller lineup. It’s a compact showcase of the label’s sound, balancing conscious themes, lovers’ touches and street-level pressure in equal measure.
