Bones Riddim – Chemist Records

Bones Riddim sits a little outside the glossy, big-brand dancehall lane Chemist Records has been circling, keeping the focus on a compact seven-track set that moves with a stripped, old-school edge. The lineup is tight but varied, with Cjthechemist and Juggla opening on “Serious, ” Noah Powa linking with ZJ Liquid on “Same Way, ” and Sizzla bringing the most seasoned voice on “Concrete Jungle. ” Iyokie’s “Best Ina The World” gets two turns, including a raw cut, which gives the project a useful little built-in contrast. The rhythm itself leans on a rugged mid-tempo swing, with a heavy bassline, clipped drum pattern, and enough space in the mix for the vocals to bite through cleanly. It’s the kind of riddim that keeps the emphasis on delivery, and here that means hard-edged chants and no-frills phrasing over a steady, military-style groove.
