007 Riddim (2010) – Free Willy Music

The 007 Riddim has that lean, early-2010s dancehall snap to it: crisp drum programming, a springy bass line, and enough room for the voicing to do the heavy lifting. Free Willy Music kept the juggling tight with seven cuts and a neat spread of names, pairing Beenie Man and Neil Amos on the direct, crowd-ready “Clean and Come Out, ” then letting Devonte and Nitty Kutchie cool things down on “Sort It Out” before Focus Ryte and Delly Ranks step in with the slick, forward-moving “Wine. ” Gyptian’s “Come Ina Me Room” brings the most radio-friendly swing to the set, while Neil Amos returns solo on “Clear” to keep the energy locked in. The final impression lands with New Kidz and Cp Ink on “A Wah Dis Fah, ” a sharp closing cut that leaves the riddim sounding aimed straight at the dance.
