Cool Riddim (2019) – West Click Records

Six cuts deep, Cool Riddim is a compact West Click Records dancehall set with Badbludd, Insanity, Swagg Boss, Vybez Acid and Zavium all taking turns over the same 2019 pattern, plus the label’s own instrumental version at the end. The track list reads like a local showcase rather than a star-driven compilation, and that gives the riddim its own small-circle feel. West Click keeps the arrangement lean and direct, with the vocalists working tight phrasing over a clipped, trap-leaning pulse and a bass line that stays in the pocket instead of trying to overpower the groove. “Talk A Di Town” and “Vibes Nice” seem to carry the personality of the set, while “Clean Everyday” brings a more measured tone. The whole thing sits in a mid-tempo pocket, with crisp drums and enough space for the DJs to ride the bounce.
