Don Dada Riddim – Daseca Productions

Daseca’s Don Dada Riddim drops right in the middle of 2011 dancehall’s back-and-forth between raw street talk and radio-ready hooks, and this one keeps its focus tight with just three cuts. The title alone nods to the long-running “Don Dada” tradition in the culture, but the production here is more about a clipped, modern bashment pulse than any nostalgia trip. Dexta Daps gets the lone solo slot on “Just Another Day, ” then returns with Razz and Biggy for “Don Dada” in both edit and raw versions, which makes the release feel less like a full compilation and more like a spotlight package around one song idea. If you’re looking for the sharpest moment, it’s the Dexta Daps-led “Don Dada” cut, where the trio lock into the riddim with the kind of authority that gives the whole project its edge.
