Colors Riddim (2019) – Nyce Nation Records

A dark, mid-tempo dancehall pull runs through Colors Riddim, with Nyce Nation Records keeping the cut straight and spare so the vocals do the heavy lifting. Melick’s title tune, Potential Kid’s “Dance Angels, ” and the Ace Boss and Vice cut “Like That” give the riddim most of its personality, while Bass aka Trilo G and Pretty Boy Nedd keep the energy on the same rough-edged channel. The release is set up like a proper DJ pack, with clean and raw versions of several songs, and it closes on the bare instrumental, which lets the drum pattern and bass line hang on their own. Colors Riddim was issued in 2019 and runs 11 tracks in total.
