Di Block Riddim – Hevs Records

Quick pulse. Di Block Riddim comes out of Hevs Records’ 2018 dancehall run with a lean, street-level energy, and the cut that catches quickest is Shu Shu’s “Cross Road Old Bus, ” which even gets a radio edit alongside the raw version. There’s a nice contrast here between the tougher chants from Erok, Buss Head and Caution Banga and the more reflective pull of Coppelly’s “Time Is The Minute” and David Best’s “Try With Me Self, ” so the set keeps shifting between pressure and perseverance without losing its bite. Hevs keeps the rhythm moving with enough room for each voice to land, and the closing instrumental version from Shamari Johnson feels like a small bonus tucked at the end.
