Blizzard Riddim (2011) – Out Deh Records

Cold, clipped dancehall with a sharp, wintery edge sits at the center of Blizzard Riddim, the 2011 Out Deh Records set, and the cut keeps its weight in the bass while leaving plenty of room for the vocals to snap through. Beenie Man’s “Weh Yuh Wah” gives it the biggest name-value push, while Singing Sweet’s “This Girl” and Tyrical’s “Bere Gyal” sit nicely alongside Flexx and Stein’s “Gyal Dem We Love” and Kibaki’s “Cyah Draw We. ” The sequence is straight riddim-compilation style, with seven vocal cuts lined up back to back and no dub or instrumental version listed in the notes. Out Deh Records handled the production, and the release collects performances from Beenie Man, Flexx ft Stein, Kibaki, Pepita, Savage, Singing Sweet, and Tyrical.
