Ahdobay Riddim – Impulse Production

Impulse Production’s 2018 Ahdobay Riddim sits in that tight little soca-catalogue lane where a compact four-track set can still carry plenty of personality, and this one does it with a bright, punchy pulse that leaves room for each voice to cut through. Jab King’s “Jab Loving” has the most immediate pull, while Jungle Doc’s “Why Yuh, ” Merzy’s “Contract, ” and Temptress’ “Ants” keep the project moving with different shades of playful Carnival energy over the same lean framework. The production stays focused rather than overloading the mix, letting the rhythmic drive do the heavy lifting and giving the singers space to work the melody. It’s a four-song release with four different artists, all lined up behind Impulse Production’s Ahdobay riddim.
