Crime Time Riddim – Mill A Week Records 2019

Out of Kingston’s 2019 dancehall run, Crime Time Riddim lands as a lean two-track set from Mill A Week Records, with Don Dynas on “Squeeze and Drop Dem” and Jarie on “Gun and Bombs. ” The production stays close to the street side of the genre: stripped back, hard-edged, and built for tension rather than gloss, which suits the title and the subject matter. There’s no long tracklist to wade through here, just the pair of cuts back to back, giving the release the feel of a quick dispatch rather than a sprawling riddim package. Crime Time Riddim was issued on August 2, 2019.
