Unchained Riddim – Soul Vybz Music

Soul Vybz Music usually leans into rootsy reggae, and Unchained Riddim sits right in that lane, with a warm, steady groove and a clean, unfussy instrumental that leaves space for the singers to work. Chezidek’s “A No Nothing” comes in with that righteous, no-nonsense edge he does so well, while Anthony B’s “Stop Fight” pushes the message home with more urgency. Lukie D keeps it smoother on “Stand Up, ” and the pairing of Chukki Starr and Starkey Banton on “Live Up” gives the project one of its nicest call-and-response moments. Al Campbell’s “Leave Out” adds a veteran touch that fits the whole set nicely. The release first surfaced around the mid-2000s, and by the time it was circulating in 2009 it already had that understated, road-tested feel.
