868 Wd40 Riddim – Showtime Empire

From Trinidad’s dancehall corner in April 2019, 868 WD40 Riddim came out of Showtime Empire with a neat 12-track run and the kind of compact, straight-to-the-point arrangement that suits a party-ready juggling. The lineup keeps the energy moving between clean and raw versions, with Craigist’s “Sid Dung, ” Infamous K’s “Gyal Wine, ” Lady Lava’s “Hop On The Top, ” Mauby Dan’s “Tambarine, ” and Yung Bredda’s “Bomb Out Ya Hole” doing most of the heavy lifting around the instrumental cut. That mix of doubles and solo pulls gives the riddim a little extra grit, but the sharper hooks sit with the female voice in the set: Lady Lava’s “Hop On The Top” is the one that hangs in the air after the final drop.
