Block List Riddim – Black Spade Productions

With 14 cuts and a full spread of voices, Block List Riddim feels like the kind of 2014 dancehall juggling that lives on tension and attitude more than polish. Black Lion’s “My Empress” sets a tougher tone, while Johnny P’s “Fashion Police” and Lackchat’s “Mi Nuh Trust People” lean into the paranoid, streetwise side of the riddim; Levardes even gets two passes at “Garrison Life, ” one edit and one raw, which tells you this was meant to move around in sound system fashion. Black Spade Productions keeps the instrumental lean and bruising, and the lineup also pulls in Ghandi, Nuffy, Venjance, and Xtronomical for extra colour. It landed in August 2014, right in the middle of a busy dancehall year.
