Dark Smoke Riddim – Back Ah Yard Records

Dark Smoke Riddim – Back Ah Yard Records is a 2020 soca release from Back Ah Yard Records, issued as a tight four-track set with Mandella Linkz on Heat Loving, Muddy on Phenomenal, and Snakey on Long Time, plus the label’s own instrumental cut. Released on January 24, 2020, it runs just over 12 minutes and keeps the focus on a compact trio of vocal performances over a clean, driving riddim. Back Ah Yard Records has a pattern of releasing instrumental-led projects, and this one follows that approach with a short, focused format that leaves room for each song to land.
