Big Spendaz Riddim – Ghetto Certified Records

A stomping, money-minded dancehall cut with a sharp bashment pulse, Big Spendaz Riddim leans into the hustler talk of titles like “Money, ” “Big Spenda, ” and Munga’s punchy “No Bwoy, ” which gives the juggling a harder edge than the average early-2010s comp. Ghetto Certified Records keeps the arrangement tight and percussive, with enough space for the vocals to jab through the groove rather than float over it. There’s a nice contrast between the straight-talking hype of Dt and Dutty B, and the smoother turn from Hyah Slyce and Ras Coley, so the riddim never stays in one lane too long. Coming out in 2011 and later turning up with an 11-track version set, it sits neatly in the label’s catalogue as one of those street-level dancehall projects built for selectors and fast-forward culture.
