Chase Riddim – Fire Ball Records

Sitting right in that mid-2000s dancehall pocket, Chase Riddim from Fire Ball Records keeps the cast tight and the energy blunt, with Beenie Man’s “Chase Dem A Chase” and Anthony B’s “Jacket and Tie” doing most of the talking over a four-track set that leans on sharp, no-nonsense digital drive. Jah Mason’s “Throw Away The Key” brings a tougher, more conscious edge, while Sugar Roy and Conrad Crystal’s “High Grade Hit Me” folds in the herbal talk that was still a reliable crowd-puller in 2006. Fire Ball had already been working the scene in that period, and this one lands as a compact dancehall juggling built around a handful of voices rather than a crowded showcase. The release runs four tracks deep, with five unique artists in all.
