Deep Sea Riddim – Richie Royal Productions

By 2019, Richie Royal Productions had this one moving in a clean, straight-ahead dancehall lane, but there’s a little more snap to it than the title suggests. The cut list runs through Iblacklion’s “Party, ” Kurry Stain’s “Baddest, ” Mr Chumps’ “Shine Bright, ” and Ras Charmer’s “Deep Sea, ” with the names spaced out like the riddim wants each voice to land and breathe. One detail that gives it some context: the project carries seven tracks with seven different artists, so there’s no crowding, just a tidy showcase of individual takes on the same pattern. “Shaneo – Braces Remix” and “Theron – Optimisticsoul” close things out in a way that feels deliberate, keeping the energy moving rather than letting it sag.
