Turn Your Lights Down Low Riddim 2012

By the time Konshens steps in with “Trust No One, ” the vibe on Turn Your Lights Down Low Riddim has already settled into a mellow, rootsy lane that nods back to Bob Marley’s classic title track with Lauryn Hill, and the set leans more on warm bass and airy guitar than anything aggressive. Mavado’s “Make Money” pushes the mood in a sharper direction, while Jah Cure’s “Longing For” and Isasha’s “You Dont Know” keep the emotional pull intact, giving the riddim a nice push-and-pull between uplift, caution, and longing. It’s a compact 2012 line-up built around five cuts, with the Marley and Hill original sitting alongside a new run of voices that keeps the name of the riddim front and center: Bob Marley Ft Lauryn Hill, Konshens, Mavado, Isasha, and Jah Cure.
