War War War Riddim – Roaring Lion Records

Roaring Lion Records keeps this 2003 set lean and pointed, with just three cuts and a clear sense of tension running through it. Cocoa Tea’s “War War War” leads with a stern, rootsy chant over a stripped-back rhythm that leaves plenty of space for the bass to rumble, while Yami Bolo’s “Mark Of The Beast” pushes the mood darker and more prophetic. The version track sits in the middle like a clean dub counterpoint, letting the riddim breathe without dressing it up too much. It’s the kind of early-2000s reggae production that leans on message and atmosphere rather than big orchestration, and the short tracklist makes every tune count.
