Produced by Winston Thompson, Lee Scratch Perry, Dr. Alimantado and Natty U, Zion Riddim reaches back to 1971 and pulls together material from Black World, Upsetter, Vital Food and Irie Ites. The selection leans on voices like Dr. Alimantado, The Flames and The Adisababians, with the 1974 Just The Other Day and the early Zion cuts giving it a clear anchor, while later versions from Chezidek, Lutan Fyah, Tony Rebel and Morgan Heritage and Ras Mac Bean show how long the riddim has stayed active. Rooted in that early roots-reggae period and tied to Lee Perry’s circle, it carries the raw, Nyahbinghi-tinged feel of the era and the kind of versioning that makes these classic riddims easy to spot.
