Die Wealthy Riddim – Keenie Records

Tight cuts, lean talk: Die Wealthy Riddim keeps Keenie Records in that sharper 2019 dancehall pocket, with just four voices carrying the whole set. Don Pree’s “Work” opens things on a clipped, workmanlike note, while D’East’s “Two Face” and Shuffle’s “The Caption” lean harder into the sly, street-level braggadocio the title suggests; Alpha Pi’s “Too Uptown” is the one that feels like the clearest hook, a proud, polished closer with a little more lift. Coming after a run of other 2019 riddims from the label, this one feels more compact than sprawling, closer in spirit to a DJ-ready showcase than a big ensemble juggling act. Keenie keeps the focus on a stripped-back dancehall frame and four quick hits, which is exactly how this one lands in the catalog.
