Baah Riddim – Various Artists

Baah Riddim comes across as a lean, mid-tempo dancehall cut with a rough, punchy swing, the kind of rhythm that leaves space for the vocals to do the talking. This 2012 four-track set keeps the sequencing tight, with Daminance’s “Piece A Face” leading things off before Big Bwoy, Shokryme, and Branxx each step in with their own take; Shokryme’s “Miss Millie” is the track that gives the riddim its clearest hook. There’s no filler here, just four straight artist cuts and no extra fat around the edges. The project is credited to Various Artists and runs with four unique voices across the riddim.
