Since summer is just around the corner, here's a riddim that reminds me of sunshine, rolling down the windows, and turning up the music. Irie Ites + Mafia & Fluxy released the Down In Jamaica Riddim in October 2007, which is a tribute to Joseph "Culture" Hill's 1978 hit "Down In Jamaica Where Garvey Come From." Some major tunes here, starting with Suga Roy & Conrad Crystal's "Good Sensi"--the song that most resembles Culture's original. Chezidek shows off his smooth voice in "Bad Out Deh" and Perfect is his usual creative self with "Light This Joint." My favorite track on here is Lutan Fyah's "Bad Traffic," an example of why I love conscious reggae music.
