Current Affairs Riddim – Rebel Soulz

Rebel Soulz laces the Current Affairs Riddim with that sharp, straight-ahead 2012 dancehall energy, the kind that leaves room for toasting and quick, punchy hooks rather than big ornamentation. Vybz Kartel’s “Ramp Ruff” and Shawn Storm’s “Heat” sit right at the front of the pack, while Denno’s “Mi Herbs” and Jay-5’s “Just Dance” bring the lineup into a more playful lane; Jay-5’s cut was one of his first professional recordings under the Rebel Soulz camp. The set keeps to vocal versions only, with six cuts running through the riddim in a tidy sequence, and it closes out with Beego’s “Girls Wanna Have Fun. ” Rebel Soulz produced the project in 2012.
