De Pm Riddim – Back Ah Yard Records

De Pm Riddim rolls with a brisk, jab-heavy soca pulse, all tight percussion, bright synth lines and a pace that keeps the energy bouncing rather than barreling. Back Ah Yard Records keeps the cast focused: Lavaman kicks things off with “Problem Reaction Solution (P. R. S. ), ” while Ms. Fluffy D Jab Empress, PowA Music, Jab King, Anil Cantstop Holder, Dash, Bubbah and Muddy each lean into the jab theme from different angles, turning the whole set into a little Carnival-season argument in rhythm. The instrumental runs just over three minutes a tune, and that compact format suits the project’s sharp, chant-friendly feel. Released in January 2021, it sits neatly inside the wave of soca riddims that were keeping the jab sound active and playful, even in a year when the road wasn’t moving the usual way.
