Super Riddim – Various Artists

SUPER RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2012

The Super Riddim rolls out as a tight little 2012 dancehall set with just four voices and a version cut, so it keeps its focus on the songs rather than crowding the lane. Squeezy Rankin comes in twice on “Back It Up, ” with the edit and raw versions giving the tune a clean-vs-gritty split that fits the era’s radio-and-dancefloor double life, while Kutie Redz’s “Come Bring That Ting” has the kind of cheeky forward motion that makes a riddim record memorable. Ziggy Rankin’s “Super Gyal” adds another sharp local touch, and the remix pairing Kutie Redz with Ziggy Rankin gives the project a little extra spark without overcomplicating it. Produced under the plain VARIOUS ARTISTS credit, it feels like a snapshot of early-2010s dancehall’s lean, fast-moving riddim culture.
