90s Boom Riddim – Buzwakk Records

Buzwakk Records leans hard into that old-school Kingston pressure here, with six cuts and seven voices riding a stripped, gritty dancehall pattern that nods straight back to the 1990s. Bucky Jo and Blaq Cognaq set the tone on “She Wants Lovin, ” while Ruddy Irie’s “Stop Follow Mi Up” and V’Licious’ “Her Man Just Lef” keep the flirtation and conflict moving in quick bursts. The whole thing is less about polish than impact: sharp voicings, room for the deejays to cut through, and a bassline that snaps rather than purrs. You can hear the producer aiming for that hardcore era feel without overloading the arrangement, letting the drum programming stay lean and the low end stay heavy, so the riddim keeps its pace tight and rude right through the six-track run.
