"'A Little Closer': A Review of The Step By Step Riddim"

The riddim’s final vocal track is from Ras Gabriel and he actually does get a mix of the riddim and when you hear what he does with the BIG ‘Zion Way’, you’ll know why.

“Going home
Zion Way
Zion Way
Going Home
Zion Way
Zion Way”

The tune features easily one of the strongest choruses on the riddim and it’s just an attention grabbing piece and thankfully it’s full of genuine substance as well and you then see exactly what can be done with this riddim in terms of changing it up and getting very electric in the process (and I think I hear a slightly more pronounced drumming as well). - Achis' Reggae Blog
