Bayo Riddim – Codelank Music

Codelank Music’s Bayo Riddim lands as a 2019 dancehall showcase with a veteran-heavy cast and a clear ear for party energy. Beenie Man opens things up with “Nice Times, ” while I-Octane’s “Everywhere We Go” and Tifa’s “Sale Out” keep the temperature high; ZJ Liquid and Medikk link for “Mosquito Shoe, ” and Cutty Coppershot with Chris Dymond push “Wine Anywhere” into the more playful corner of the set. The run finishes with Codelank’s own instrumental, which gives the riddim a clean final stretch and underlines the producer’s first full outing, framed at the time as a modern take on an old-time Jamaican Poco Man Skank vibe. It runs seven tracks in all, with nine credited artists across the project.
