Carousel Riddim Vol 1 – U2g

CAROUSEL RIDDIM VOL 1 – U2G 2018

U2G’s Carousel Riddim Vol. 1 lands with a lean, club-ready dancehall pulse and a fairly wide cast of voices, from Dman Mfive’s “Rise (Everyday)” and Black Puma’s “Feeling Good” with Kountry Blak to Sashy Royal’s “Trendsetta” and Nigma Quikxilva’s “No Puedes (Mi Pedazo). ” The project came out in late 2018 and runs 12 cuts deep, with Juan Valmon McKenzie closing on the version, which keeps the whole thing anchored in proper riddim tradition. There’s a streetwise, hustler-minded thread running through a few of the titles — “Money (Bagga Paper), ” “Chasing Paper, ” “Gun Men” — but the production stays bright enough to keep it moving rather than heavy and grim. Compared with the usual one-riddim drop, this one feels more like a sampler of U2G’s approach at the time, and it sits neatly in their 2018 dancehall catalogue without overreaching.
