Constrictor Riddim – Daddy Cobra And Fyahbwoy

The Constrictor Riddim has that sharp, stalking dancehall feel, all tense bass and clipped momentum, which suits Fyahbwoy’s “Protocolo” especially well; he rides it with a militant Spanish-language toast that sets the tone for the whole project. Daddy Cobra and Fyahbwoy frame it as a cross-border one-riddim session, and the guest list backs that up with Ward 21, Chulito Camacho, Lasai, Daddy Banton and Toledo all taking turns over the same dark pulse. “Protocolo” feels like the anchor track, but the riddim keeps throwing out little surprises as the voices switch from Spanish to Jamaican patois and back again. There’s a raw, underground energy to the whole thing, and by the time it reaches the Toledo cut, the cobra-smooth production has already done its bite.
