Bad Apple Riddim – Solid Zimbabwe/Marsahye Muzik

Mid-tempo and a little sly, the Bad Apple Riddim leans into a stripped-down dancehall pulse rather than trying to crowd the beat, which suits the small but tidy lineup here. Traqula’s “Brace It Up” sets the tone with its regular version and raw cut, then D-Dan keeps the pressure up on “Guhfah, ” while Patta Rhyme’s “Like A Lotion” closes things out with the same clean-to-raw pairing that runs through the whole release. Issued in February 2019 by Solid Records Zimbabwe and Marsahye Muzik, it’s a six-track EP that keeps the focus on the rhythm itself, with the instrumental feel sitting right at the heart of the project even when the vocal takes are front and centre.
