Wall Street Riddim – Heavy Beats Records

Wall Street Riddim leans into a straight-ahead roots feel, with Heavy Beats Records lining up a deep cast of veteran voices over the 2012 cut. Wayne Wade opens the set, then Glen Washington, Kashief Lindo, Al Campbell and Barry Biggs keep the temperature warm and melodically minded, while Screwdriver’s “Harsh Reality” gives the sequence a tougher edge. The collection runs 13 tracks in all, and the ordering plays like a proper showcase rather than a loose sampler, with the songs moving cleanly from one singer to the next. Heavy Beats Records handled the production, and the release also turned up in a separate digital album edition under the Reggaematic Music banner.
