World Crisis Riddim – Lava Voice Production

Lava Voice Production’s World Crisis Riddim lands as a compact 2014 reggae set with a clear message running through it, from Colah Colah’s “Climate Change” to Zareb’s title cut. The original version runs four vocal tracks, and the sequencing keeps the consciousness theme moving through Rassi Hardknocks’ “Falling Apart” and Singer Dee’s “You Run Dem” before closing on a straight riddim version. At around 82 BPM, it sits in that mid-tempo pocket where the drums stay patient and the lyrics do the heavy lifting, and the later remastered edition shows the project had enough life to warrant a return. World Crisis Riddim was first released on January 2, 2014.
