Sugar Minott - Soundboy Killing by Adam_Prescott published on 2014-11-09T13:29:03Z Artist: Various Artists Title: Liondub & Adam Prescott Present: Heavenless Riddim Story Label: Liondub International Catalog #: LNDB028 Format: Vinyl / Digital Release Date: November 2014 File Under: DReggae / Dub / UK Steppers Sometimes strong talent demands quick follow-ups, and when Liondub International and Adam Prescott first linked with “Technique” they wasted no time in making a strong move to secure more of the heavyweight sound from this producer. Featuring an all-star cast of Reggae artists including Sugar Minott (RIP), Ranking Joe, Johnny Osbourne, Jahdan Blakkamore, Metric Man, and Junior Dangerous, “Heavenless Riddim Story” presents a modern take on the classic one riddim album, packed with pressure from top vocal talent. The original “Heavenless Version” falls between digi-dub and dubstep, with low-bit sound effects, classic brittle dancehall drums and fat bass, and the producer subtly flips the riddim in different directions for each new version. Jahdan’s “No Bad Vibes” shows off his versatile deejaying while distorted bass billows out from underneath, while Johnny Osbourne’ “Dubplate Medley” borrows portions of his famous passages drawn through a heavy haze of effects which has garnered worldwide support from luminaries like David Rodigan and Iration Steppas. Both Junior Dangerous and Ranking Joe summon classic dancehall style when they flex, with Dangerous taking the more aggressive route while Joe twists his tongue and shouts in his fine style; Metric Man and Pad Anthony deploy contrasting sing-jay styles over two of the more drastic reworks of the riddim. Finally, the dearly departed guest of honor is Sugar Minott, whose “Soundboy Killing” strips the version back to foreground bass and percussion and leaves the focus clearly on his inimitable vocal style. With eight distinctive interpretations from Prescott and a clutch of roots’ and contemporary reggae’s best vocal performers, “Heavenless Riddim Story” unites generations in the dancehall with fresh sounds from one of today’s most promising upcoming talents.
