The Heathen Riddim is here. VP and Big Yard have put together a nice mix but there is only 11 tracks on this album. If you have seen the video for Shaggy’s "Church Heathen" it should be no shock to see that's the biggest track on the album . Anyone who has been to church can relate to the lyrics. Its like a tell all gossip call turned into a song. It’s a big tune. The Pastor by Ninja Man sounds like an exact copy of Shaggy’s but there will be not finger pointing. It’s unclear which artist produced the track first but, most likely it is Shaggy because the riddim is named for his track.
Lef Dem to Time by Elephant man and Jigsy is very funny. Elephant Man is a true joker. Hate him or love him, he is entertaining. Love Machine by Rik Rok and Screechie Dan, as well as The Gospel by Shelly Thunder are nice little surprises. It’s unlikely that these will make it to the radio or club any time soon but both make great use of the riddim and hold their own with the usual suspects on the Riddim Driven albums. Red Fox’s Bangin’ Tree has a great chorus but the rest of the song is average. In summary, the Heathen is a great riddim but it’s a shame there wasn’t 3 or 4 more tracks.
