Fully Charged Riddim – Father And Son Records

Father And Son Records dropped Fully Charged Riddim in 2013, and it sits right in that early-2010s dancehall pocket where a compact one-riddim set could still carry plenty of personality. The six-song lineup keeps it moving, with Andidre’s title cut setting the tone and Positive Vibez’ “Let It Clap” leaning into the more anthemic side of the rhythm, while Dan Marcus’ “Nuh Fren From Dem” and Bert Mckoy’s “Dream” bring a tougher, more rueful edge. It’s the kind of release that doesn’t need a long guest list to make its point; the focus stays on the riddim and the artists riding it. Coming out in 2013, it also lands in a period when Father And Son were building out a steady catalogue of straight-ahead dancehall projects.
