Body Shot Riddim – Various Artists

BODY SHOT RIDDIM 2006

By 2006, dancehall was leaning hard into sharper, more militant riddims, and Body Shot sits right in that pocket with a roster that jumps from Trinidad voices to straight-up street-toast energy. Bunji Garlin’s “Doh Disrespect” is the obvious anchor, especially with both clean and dirty cuts on the same set, while Maximus Dan’s “Overboard” and Faye-Ann Lyons’ “Real Woman” push the riddim in a more punchy, carnival-ready direction. The one-drop version isn’t the point here; this is all about heavy bass, clipped drum hits, and the kind of brusque patter that suits “Hotta Fire, ” “Front Line, ” and “Throw Yuh Hands Up” just as well. The release is stacked with 12 tracks, including the version cut and a pair of Bunji Garlin takes.
