Rain Wata Riddim

The Rain Wata Riddim was released by Cut Stone Records in 2008.  Kali Blaxx headlines the riddim with his breakthrough hit song "One Smoke."  Zamunda produces one of his big hits with "Jah Love," and Chezidek sounds equally good on "Sun Or Rain."

Issachar Riddim

Imperial Records released the Issachar Riddim in November 2008.  Issachar, Israeli for 'there is a reward,' was a conscious set of tunes with positive messages.  The rhythm was cool & calm and featured a simple bingy drum and flute.  My favorite song is Chrisinti & Gentleman on "Struggle & Faith," because 'harder is the battle, sweeter is the victory.'  Tony Rebel knows you can "Break The Cycle," and Queen Ifrica sounds great on "Need You."  Lutan Fyah "Becon Of Hope" is worth a listen as well.

Sent For Me Riddim

The Sent For Me Riddim was released in February 2012, on the Dynamq/River Nile Ent.  It has a Carribean feel, from what sounds like a keyboard and steel drums.  Kali Blaxx rides the rhythm so well, remembering the "Good Times," (mark this as one of his best songs).  Delly Ranks' "Best Of Me," is the only other song that I enjoyed.  The riddim only featured four songs, but I hope other artists will record to it in the future.  It's not on iTunes or Amazon yet.

Good Love Riddim

The Good Love Riddim was released in February, 2011 on Yard Vybz.  The actual release only featured four songs, nothing too special.  Wayne Marshall's title track and Tanya Stephens' "Reminising" are okay tracks.  A few others did record to it, (not sure why they weren't on the album), including Gyptian with "Butterfly" and Jah Cure with my favorite and really only worthy track on this riddim, "Call On Me."

 1.  Christopher Martin- Melody To My Love Song

 2.  Tami Chynn-Forever UR Girl

 3.  Tanya Stephens- Reminising

 4.  Wayne Marshall- Good Love

 5.  Jah Cure- Call On Me
