90s Again Riddim – Jacob Rose Productions

Jacob Rose Productions keeps this one tight with just four cuts, the kind of compact 2016 dancehall juggling that leaves room for each voice to land properly. Martina opens with “Best Friend, ” while Voicemail’s “Like A Queen” and Munga Honorable’s “Nuh Funny Money” bring the sharper edge, giving the riddim a lively mix of playful chat and straight dancehall attitude. The title points to a deliberate throwback, and the sound follows through with that mid-’90s feel, all bounce and swagger rather than anything glossy or overworked. Qq’s “Cute Gal Whine” rounds out the set, and the release is listed with production credits to Jacob Rose Productions and four unique artists in all.
