UPLIFTMENT RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2006
Bright and meditative, Upliftment Riddim feels like a mid-2000s roots set with a sharper edge, gathering 14 cuts from 15 artists around a patient, heavyweight groove rather than chasing club speed. The lineup leans on conscious lyrics and social pressure points: Jigsy King’s “Rise Ghetto Youth” and Mykal Rose’s “Jump Nya Benge” sit naturally beside Roger Robin’s pair, “African People Be Free” and “Hurricane Ivan, ” while C4 and Prince Pankhi keep the message direct and unsentimental. There’s a little extra lift in Roger feat. Papa Levy’s “She’s Only 14, ” but the riddim’s real pull comes from the veterans, especially Mykal Rose, whose voice cuts through the arrangement with the kind of authority that gives the whole project its backbone.
