Lock Up Riddim (2019) – Rock Drey The Producer/Litchfield Music

Rock Drey The Producer and Litchfield Music keep Lock Up Riddim lean and focused, with just three vocal cuts and the instrumental stretched across a tight 10-minute run. Ice Kydd’s “Rate Yuh” opens things with a sharp edge, Maximum’s “Keep It Real” carries the kind of straight-talking dancehall posture that sits well on a stripped-back riddim, and Jay Medz brings a lighter touch with “Summer Vibes. ” The whole set landed in late August 2019, and that timing fits the compact, no-frills feel of the project: no wasted space, just a quick set of voices riding the same pulse. If there’s one cut that lingers, it’s Ice Kydd’s “Rate Yuh, ” which sets the tone early and gives the release its toughest moment.
