Green Lion Crew’s star-studded “Riddim Full of Culture” is an impressive collection of top notch tracks featuring many of reggae’s brightest stars! The album has a mix of solo tracks along with riddims where two artists will put their unique spins creating separate songs. Green Lion Crew made up of Zeke Stern and Dana Knowles definitely brought production heat and made me a big fan of their work!

The 17 track album brings you nearly an hour of new music that will have you vibing to the beats and appreciating the artists that Green Lion Crew chose to feature. Take “In This World” featuring Busy Signal. Choosing Signal for this intricate riddim was such a great call.

The song “Politricks” features big time artists including Mr. Williamz, Kabaka Pyramid, and Addis Pablo. This riddim is the kind of genre crossing production that hip hop royalty will be drooling over!

MediSun has some of the smoothest vocals in reggae today and I’m really loving “The Reign” a song about politicians with no vision.

The organ style keys and drum beat make the riddim in “Good Dayz” one of my favorite songs on the album. Even when times are tough, Roe Summerz celebrates the positive aspects of life.

I was really impressed with Koro Fyah’s voice and energy in the beautiful song “Vibin’”. Green Lion Crew has a special ability to match artists with their music, and the instrumentation hits a listeners ear to where you appreciate the artistry and also cannot wait to hear the next riddim!

Green Liow Crew mixes in some irie dub effects in “Skillful” where they team with Iotosh in a song about surviving the streets and pushing away evil.

“Rocking Ship - 2022 Mix” is a big time track featuring Jesse Royal and Kumar and another proof point in Green Lion Crew’s impressive rise as one of reggae’s leading production crews!
