90s Vibe Riddim (2019) – Madd Kastle Records

With just six artists across nine cuts, 90s Vibe Riddim keeps the cast tight and the energy focused, leaning on the kind of raw, throwback dancehall bounce that the title promises. IQlus and Brighta Star each turn up twice here in clean and raw versions, which gives the riddim a nice push-and-pull between radio-ready polish and the rougher mix, while Farmer Brown’s “Love It Bad” and Master J’s “Take The Position” help anchor the set with straight-to-the-point party talk. Madd Kastle Records handles the production, and the instrumental at the end leaves the beat hanging bare, letting that hard-edged, late-90s-flavoured pulse do the talking on its own.
