Watermelon Riddim – Starplayer Records

Watermelon Riddim is a 2011 reggae release from Starplayer Records that lines up eight cuts around a moody, rootsy groove. Da Real Bommer’s Hard Times and G Mack’s Suffer We A Suffer set the tone, while Lutan Fyah’s Tangled Up, Perfect’s Smile, and Teflon’s 2012 add some of the sharper moments in the set. Karl Morrison and Kevin Bommer both turn up on Speeechless, giving the riddim a little extra identity across the tracklist. It’s a compact Starplayer production with a strong suffering-and-struggle theme, and the mix of established voices and lesser-known names keeps it grounded in the 2011 reggae lane.
