Avenue Riddim – Tru Productions

Tru Productions’ Avenue Riddim sits right in that 2018 wave of compact dancehall juggling, the kind where the producer keeps the pattern tight and lets the voices do the talking. Savage opens with “Naw Give Up, ” a straightforward motivational cut that rides the groove with a bit of grit, while Flexxx’s “Like Me” leans more playful and swagger-heavy. Don Pree’s “Live Some Life” and Rigz’s “Summer Time Raving” give the set a more seasonal, party-ready feel, so the riddim never drifts too far from the roadside bashment vibe the title suggests. Released in August 2018 and moved through Johnny Wonder Distribution, it lands as one of those mid-year dancehall drops that captured the lighter, tuneful side of the era without losing its pulse.
