Confused Riddim (2012) – Keno 4 Star

Confused Riddim came out of Keno 4 Star in July 2012 with a lean, five-cut dancehall run that feels more sharp-edged than flashy, the kind of juggling that keeps the focus on the voices and the forward motion of the beat. Bounty Killer’s “Want War” is the heavyweight cut here, all blunt threat and veteran authority, while Exco Levi’s “One A Dem Ting” brings a cleaner, more measured delivery that sits nicely against the rougher energy around it. Richest, Simple Star and Stein fill out the set without overcomplicating anything, and the whole thing plays like a tight summer drop rather than a sprawling compilation. At just 13 minutes, it’s a quick snapshot of Keno 4 Star’s 2012 dancehall output, and the brevity is part of the charm.
