ARGUMENT RIDDIM –  GRAB DEM RECORDS – X-KALIBA RECORDS 2021

Argument Riddim from Grab Dem Records and X-Kaliba Records lands in that hard-edged 2021 dancehall pocket where the rhythm does most of the talking: sharp drum programming, a lean bass line, and enough open space for the artists to cut through with straight talk and attitude. The set runs nine tracks deep and pulls in 14 voices, with Street Gena on “Wallstreet, ” Shaney Blaxx on “Money Stain, ” Khation on “Lighter, ” and Incarnius on “357” among the cleaner pull-ups. There’s a nice contrast between the solo cuts and the busier link-up moments, especially the Verci J, Sean Jay, Rightious and Chedda combination on “3Bad, ” which gives the riddim a more crowded, posse-style finish. It’s a dry, functional piece of dancehall, anchored by a steady mid-tempo pulse and a blunt instrumental that keeps the focus on the vocals.
