Officer Riddim Up
Artwork: Stephen "Thunder" Holness
BDLabs Music and LifeForce Production collaborate to produce the Officer Riddim featuring the complex narratives of life through the vocal talents of Papa Biggy, Mykal Rose, Lutan Fyah, Luciano, Louie Culture, King Mas, Mighty Mystic, Atterny, Kingi, Jahriffe, and Bd Labs. Released by VPAL, a division of VP Music Group, July 2018, this is one album to carry over into 2019.
Rarely is there a clean break from the past to the present. And success is a macrocosm of micro triumphs and failures. So, while we view the new year as a time of renewal, it is best to retain collective wisdom because the crossover into 2019 presents many precarious challenges on the path to success. And the narrative of every artist on this ten-track album presents a vigilant view of life.
Listening to the entire album, interesting is the representation of the reggae culture. From Jamaica to New England, as well as the leading generations and the young legends, each vocalist reaches a distinct subculture within the collective reggae sphere. Something for every listener, yet, an album that is relatable to many. And the concise and clear rhythm provides a quality platform for us to hear the message. Respect.
