Autopsy Riddim – Dutty Linx Production

Autopsy Riddim leans hard into gun talk and grit, with a dark 2008 dancehall cut that’s all bark and no softness. Dutty Linx Production lines it up with names like Aidonia, Laden, Harry Toddler, Macka Diamond and Zumjay, and the mix of titles — “Shake It, ” “I’m High, ” “War, ” “Rifle, ” “Chat Mi, ” “Mek Noise” — tells you exactly the kind of energy this one was chasing. The set runs through 13 tracks and closes with a version, so it plays like a proper one-riddim package rather than a loose singles drop. Aidonia’s “Shake It” and Macka Diamond’s “Chat Mi” sit nicely alongside the tougher cuts from Black Rhyno and Roach, while the whole thing keeps that clipped, menacing pulse that was common in late-2000s dancehall.
