Uprising Riddim (2021) – Heno Productions

Heno Productions’ Uprising Riddim leans into rootsy, mid-tempo reggae with a steady, uplifting pulse that leaves room for the singers to carry the message. The 2021 set runs eight tracks deep, and the best moments come from the varied angles on resilience and faith, with Anto Neosoul’s “Take It Easy, ” Cathy Matete’s “No Retreat, ” and Kevin Brown’s “Champion” each bringing a different shade to the same backbone. Heno also slips in a self-titled riddim cut, which helps frame the project as more than just a vocal showcase. With all eight songs lined up cleanly and no wasted space, the sequencing feels intentional, like each voice was placed to keep the energy moving while holding one mood steady across the whole release.
