Unity Through Music Riddim – Gmp

GMP’s 2013 Unity Through Music Riddim feels like one of those small, hand-to-hand reggae sets that tells you a lot about a scene in just six cuts. Big Sey’s “Broken Trust” and Buko’s “Serious Times” sit right in the middle of the conversation, with Ghetto Solja’s “Too Much Tears” and Mlk’s “Heart Must Be Clean” keeping the mood pointed toward struggle, caution, and moral grounding. The production has that lean, rootsy pull that lets the singers carry the weight without crowding them, and J-Matic’s “Just Getting” adds a sharper, forward-moving edge to the sequence. It’s a compact release, but the title fits the spirit of the thing.
