1 Bim Riddim – Advance Recordz

Advance Recordz keeps 1 Bim Riddim moving with a lean 2019 dancehall juggling that is more street than glossy, more raw energy than polished crossover. The cut list is short, but that gives the rhythm room to breathe: Don Pree’s Rite Yah Suh, Gage’s Real Grimmy, and Hot Frass’s Evil Medz each land with their own personality without pulling the riddim away from its core bounce.

Don Pree came into 2019 as a rising dancehall voice from Grants Pen, already talking like an artist with something to prove and a sharp enough image to match the talk. Rite Yah Suh fits that hard-edged lane, with a deejay stance that feels aimed at the dance first and everything else after. Gage, the Clarendon-born deejay known for raw delivery and streetwise writing, rides Real Grimmy with the kind of unapologetic posture his catalog is built on. Hot Frass, from St Thomas, was also building a name in that same period with songs that traveled well through parties and sound systems, and Evil Medz taps into his direct, high-energy style.

The riddim itself carries a clipped, heavyweight pulse that leaves space for the vocalists to punch their lines through. It sits squarely in the modern dancehall lane: no extra decoration, just enough pressure in the drums and bass to keep the verses moving and the hook sections sharp. On a project like this, the appeal is in how each artist bends the same rhythm to a different attitude, and that is exactly what 1 Bim Riddim does best.
