Cold Water Riddim – Out Roar Productions

Out Roar Productions keeps Cold Water Riddim in that early-2010s dancehall pocket where party talk, raunchy hooks and soundclash energy all sit on the same cut. Dreygo’s “Smoke And Fuck” is the one that jumps out immediately, and it sits nicely beside Hya Grade’s “Gyal Get Wetup, ” Meekho’s “Get A Gyal, ” and Splinta’s “Tek Box And Kick, ” all of them riding the rhythm with the same cheeky, floor-ready attitude. The set also folds in Silva Marie and Attaclapse on “Summer Party, ” which leans the project a little more toward bashment than pure badness. There’s a radio version for several cuts, too, plus two instrumental versions at the end, which gives the riddim a tidy little backbone.
