Category 5 Riddim – Various Artists

CATEGORY 5 RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2008

Category 5 Riddim lands as a lean 2008 dancehall juggling with just five names voicing seven cuts, so the focus stays on the sequence rather than any single star turn. Powah Man handles the opening twice with “Last Time Mi Check It, ” while Famous Face’s “Mi Gal” and Rseenal’s “Soh Or Soh” keep the set moving with that clipped, street-level phrasing that suits the era. The production is credited simply to Various Artists, which leaves the rhythm itself to do the talking: a taut, bare-bones pattern with a heavy low end, sharp drum programming, and just enough open space for the vocals to cut through. The version closes it out cleanly, underlining the riddim’s quick, percussive step and mid-tempo forward motion.
