Big Buss Riddim – Mobys Records

Heavy, bass-forward dancehall with a stripped-down groove and enough empty space for the vocals to bite, Big Buss Riddim keeps its focus tight rather than overloading the arrangement. The set runs five tracks with two cuts from Blaazz, who opens with “Heaven House Top” before switching into “Raper Bwoy, ” while Daddy Senseh, Della Rhymes, and Pypelyne each get a solo slot to round out the selection. There’s no wasted motion here, just a compact sequence that lets the voices carry the attitude over the same blunt rhythm bed. Produced by Mobys Records, the 2014 release lines up five tracks from four unique artists.
