Universal Riddim – Various Artists

Out of the 2011 reggae-riddim churn, Universal Riddim lands as a small three-cut set with a straight, no-frills setup: Dl’s “Ghetto Story, ” Isaiah’s “Nah Go No More, ” and the credited Unknown cut, “Leave My Princess Alone. ” There’s no long guest list or extra packaging here, just a concise batch of songs that keeps the focus on the vocals and the shared backing track. The sequencing is bare and practical, which suits a release like this, and “Ghetto Story” reads like the track most likely to carry the riddim’s weight. Universal Riddim was issued in 2011 and lists three unique artists across three tracks.
