Cologne Riddim (2019) – Ajusdivybz Music

Cologne Riddim keeps the focus tight: four cuts, all of them straight dancehall and all clocking in around the same lean frame. Buggle’s “Zaddy” and Angel Doolas’ “Undress” carry the most immediate pull, while Rackaz Element’s “Journey” and the Wacky Traffic/World Boom link-up on “Traffic” keep the pace moving without drifting off course. Ajusdivybz Music keeps the arrangement compact here, more stripped-back and less crowded than the bigger, busier-style projects that came under the name later on, which suits the release’s no-frills pull. It’s a quick 2019 entry in the label’s catalogue, and one that sits neatly among the year’s harder-edged, DJ-friendly riddims.
