Okay so, I thought I'd just bring to your attention a very cool recent release courtesy of a label that I do not think I've ever heard of and one which I've definitely never written about as one Golden Quest Empire has delivered the Morning Rise Riddim. When I first heard just a bit of the Morning Rise, I thought it may've been an African track and, after doing the research, I've come to see that the creator, GQE, has a very diverse background, so that may've actually been what they were going for directly. Apart from that, what also gripped my attention was the peculiar lineup of vocalists here. If you have one riddim and it has Luciano, Anthony B and Lutan Fyah on it, that's something I'm most likely going to want to hear and I wouldn't be surprised if you don't already a couple of dozen or so (if not more) sets like that.... but then you add in.... oh, I don't know, let's just say TALLPREE [WHAT!] as well, then you have something different entirely. Also present are Kongquez Golden (who may be the person behind GQE (BE CAREFUL about going through Kongquez Golden's catalogue, there's at least one very large misstep there that I just found) and a Black Queen who may want to think about getting a more Google-friendly name (biggup Agent Sasco), neither of whom shine here (Black Queen's song, 'We Ah African', isn't bad, but it is quite awkward in my opinion). To my opinion it's Luciano who steals the proverbial show with his lovely 'Doom To Die'. 

Looking for something a little different these days? Maybe check out the Morning Rise Riddim from Golden Quest Empire.... just thought I'd let you know.... going to bed now.
