Unseen Tears Riddim – Affiliates Records

Affiliates Records’ 2016 Unseen Tears Riddim is a five-song reggae set that pairs heartfelt lyrics with a clean, mid-2010s roots-driven feel. Big Bang’s Linky Dem, Cambone’s All My Life featuring Dilligent, and IBO Fire’s Dont Let The Pressure Hold You give the project its most memorable moments, while Sashae and Smoke Alot add more pain-and-resilience themes across the rhythm. Released in June 2016, it’s a compact riddim from Affiliates Records that leans into reflective storytelling rather than heavy experimentation, which makes it easy to place in the label’s catalogue of straightforward, vocal-led reggae releases.
