Boom Skeng Riddim – Fiwi Music

Fiwi Music’s Boom Skeng Riddim feels leaner than the label’s better-known dancehall-leaning output, but that spare setup is part of its charm: this 2011 reggae cut runs with just two voices, G Whizz on the title track and Zamunda on “Reggae Round Ya, ” both riding a smooth rub-a-dub-tinged groove that keeps the bass warm and the arrangement uncluttered. G Whizz, who had already built a name with “Life, ” gives “Boom Skeng” a confident, uplifting edge, while Zamunda leans into a conscious, easy sway that suits the riddim’s mellow pulse. The production credit is tied to FiWi, with Yogie listed on the riddim database entry, and the release was issued in May 2011 with a total of two tracks.
