Bad Chargie Riddim – Rb Records

Bad Chargie Riddim keeps the spotlight on a lean 2017 dancehall set from RB Records, and the hook here is the mix of voices around a single driving groove. Jahvillani’s “Deh Deh Fi Mi” feels like the tune with the most pull, while Bencil, Flawless and Kappa all take their turn on a tough, no-frills cut that leaves room for the vocals to punch through. The package also includes Neutron Obliv’s “Born Fi Do This” in both raw and clean versions, plus the instrumental, so you get the full producer’s version of the riddim in one run. That gives the release a compact seven-track shape, with six artists across the set and RB Records closing it out on the instrumental.
