87 Riddim – Reble World Records / Back 2 Da Future Records

87 RIDDIM produced by REBLE WORLD RECORDS / BACK 2 DA FUTURE RECORDS 2013

Tight and gritty, 87 Riddim comes off like a sharply programmed 2013 dancehall set with just enough room for the voices to cut through. Reble World Records and Back 2 Da Future keep the lane raw and direct, and the best pulls here are the familiar names doing the heavy lifting: Delly Ranx sliding into “Ganja Smoke, ” Hawkeye on the hard-edged “Position Fi Mi” in both raw and radio versions, and Baby Boom’s “Who Nuh Rate We” giving the project a bruising close. The single-minded title fits the sound, too — lean, street-level, and built for the bashment rather than the polish. It also sits neatly alongside the label’s early-2010s run, where Reble World was starting to shape a catalogue around blunt, workmanlike dancehall riddims with enough personality to keep selectors coming back.
