Come Over Riddim (The Story) – Kick Dem Records

Kick Dem Records usually sits in the rawer side of dancehall, so Come Over Riddim: The Story feels a little more pointed and song-driven, with the label circling a breakup theme instead of going straight for shelling rhythms. Bugle’s “Genuine Love” and I-Octane’s “Passionate Love” keep it in conscious-romantic territory, while Demarco’s blunt “F**K Love (Raw)” brings the sharper edge that gives the set its bite. The riddim itself sits at a cool mid-tempo, around 73 BPM, which leaves enough room for the hooks to breathe and for Mink Jo’s “True Lies” and Esco’s “Make Up” to land cleanly. Closing on the instrumental “Come Over Riddim (The Story)” makes the whole thing feel like a compact six-track statement rather than just another loose compilation.
