Bounce Suh Riddim Vol2 (2018) – Starstruck Records

Bounce Suh Riddim Vol2 finds Starstruck Records in that hard-edged 2018 dancehall pocket where the drums bounce tight and the bass does most of the talking, with Devin Di Dakta’s “Polygamous” and I-Octane’s “Fit It Een” giving the riddim its sharpest hooks while Iyara’s “Prove Yourself” keeps the energy moving. The set is lean, just five tracks in all, so there’s no clutter around the vocal cuts; instead, the production gets room to breathe, and the instrumental closes things out under the Pondispot banner. It’s a short, no-nonsense package that pairs three vocal tunes with a final riddim version, the kind of release that’s built to keep the selector’s hand busy.
