Riddim Driven: Hard Times and Riddim Driven: I Swear

Riddim Driven: Hard Times (VP)
Here's the proof that Stephen Gibbs is his father's son. Legendary producer Joe Gibbs, responsible for "Uptown Top Ranking," seems to have passed on the ability to combine great hooks with great melodies. Sure, riddim albums aren't always the most exciting things to listen to, but I'd argue that this is an exception. From future superstar I Wayne's exceptional "Living in Love" to Bascom X's sweet "Lonely Girl" to Richie Spice's "That Ghetto Girl" to Capleton's "That Day Will Come," not to mention the other 10 equally good tracks, this riddim alone should demonstrate that consciousness still rocks the dancehall. 8.5/10

Riddim Driven: I Swear (VP)
If you missed this in 2004, get it now - but you just might want to skip Richie Stephen's questionable "Woman to Man." 8/10
