Big Chest Riddim – Treasure Chest Productions

Big Chest Riddim comes with a lean, mid-tempo dancehall pulse that leaves room for the voices to carry the weight, and Treasure Chest Productions lines up a tidy cast around it: Prezident Brown, Turbulence, Anthony B, Chino, Singing Sweet, Kibaki, Sa-Fiya Adams, Tanya Asaki and Jovaine, and Shema. The sequencing keeps the energy moving without overloading the set, and the closing cut switches things up with Gregoire’ Maret’s “Reggae-Monica (Dubonica mix), ” which gives the compilation a left-turn finish. “Word, ” “Eva Bless, ” and “Blazin Fire” sit near the front of the pack, each leaning into the riddim’s stern, rootsy-dancehall feel rather than trying to outshout it. The release was issued in 2021 and contains 10 tracks.
