Boss Riddim (2012) – Outstanding Music

Boss energy. Outstanding Music’s 2012 Boss Riddim keeps the focus on party-mode dancehall, with 13 cuts and an instrumental tucked in at the end, so the whole set plays like a full showcase rather than a loose single drop. Stein’s “Don’t Stop” is the one that jumps out first, while Fambo’s “Work It Gal, ” Seanizzle’s “Party Everywhere, ” and Hollow Point’s “Dance Fi The Boss” keep the tune going across a run of familiar sounds and new voices. The tracklist also stretches from King David and Pretty Kitty to Jahmalo, with each artist taking a different angle on the same pulsing rhythm. The riddim was released in January 2012.
