Blue Navy Riddim – Star Music Inc

By May 2017, Blue Navy Riddim was circling the dancehall lanes with a tight little cast rather than a crowded lineup, and that suits its cut-and-dry shape. Star Music Inc keeps it to five tracks, splitting the release between clean and raw versions for Shawn Storm’s “Run As It Start” and Noface Unknown’s “Nuh Tek Talk, ” then tacking on the instrumental for the full riddim run. That setup leaves the vocal cuts to do the heavy lifting, and Shawn Storm’s opening tune feels like the one carrying the sharpest edge, especially in the raw version. With only two voices on the project, the production gets room to breathe, and the title track itself sits right where modern 2017 dancehall liked it: lean, direct, and made for repeat spins.
