Buss No Gun Riddim – Angry Stuff Records

Angry Stuff’s Buss No Gun Riddim lines up 10 cuts from 12 different voices, and that spread gives the project a proper roots-and-culture feel rather than a straight dancehall rush. Issued in 2011, the set runs from Asna’s devotional In His Name and Kananga’s Rasta Knowledge to the sharper anti-violence statements from Lexon and W. R. K, Patko, and Tifayah and Soobah, with Turbulence bringing extra weight on Long Distance Love. The production sits in that French Caribbean-meets-European roots zone Angry Stuff was carving out at the time, with Patko again handling the composition and the label already having turned heads with Flame of Life. The riddim keeps a hard, marching step underneath the vocals, led by a deep bassline and lean drum pattern that leaves room for the singers to ride the groove cleanly.
