The record label that gave us hit compilations like Rock All Riddim, World Rebirth Riddim, and Reggae Sax Riddim, to name a few, is back with another mellifluous project. This past Friday, February 9th, Reggae Vibes Music released their latest juggling; a ten-track reggae anthology dubbed Natural Vibes Riddim. It features Busy Signal, Jah Cure, Turbulence, Pressure Busspipe, Powerman, Lutan Fyah, Kurtiouss, Jay Shephard, Rufftop Rock I, and Ginjah. 

Curious to find out how they were able to get a song from Jah Cure, who is currently confined in The Netherlands, I reached out to Reggae Vibes‘ CEO Marlon Folkes, who explained:

“GM MJ. In October 2021 I reached out to Jah Cure for some dubplates because I had a few dj gigs coming up. He sent only one of three dubplates because he had shows in Europe and was working at his own pace and vibe. 

At one point I mentioned I have a reggae riddim that I was planning to start working on in a few months. He insisted that I send it to him asap. The dubs were delayed and the events were approaching so I reminded him. He said he was feeling great and the vibe in Europe made him more inclined to record a track on the nameless riddim, which eventually became the Natural Vibes Riddim. 

Again I insisted on the dubplates because I really wanted them for the events. Jah Cure, as he is known for, did his own thing and recorded “How Can I Explain’ [his song on the compilation]. A few days later the unfortunate incident occurred.”

The above statement is confirmation that this song from Jah Cure is conceivably one of his last recordings before being locked up. That knowledge, coupled with the fact that all the artists delivered masterfully, are reasons enough to get a copy of this album. Natural Vibes Riddim can be streamed and/or downloaded from iTunes, Deezer, Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, Amazon, and all other streaming platforms.
