Double Standard Riddim – Master One Productions

Master One Productions keeps the tone sharp and terse on Double Standard Riddim, a five-cut 2013 dancehall set that leans into talking lyrics rather than big singjay theatrics. Anthony B’s “Chatty Mouth” sets the mood with a direct shot at slackness, while Teflon’s “Talk dem a talk” and Pamputtae’s “Got it like dat” push the same idea from different angles, each one sitting over a spare, straightforward rhythm that leaves plenty of room for the vocals to land. Daine’s title track and Ranco’s “No badness” keep the message locked on hypocrisy and restraint, so the whole thing feels like a little lyrical skirmish more than a party package. It runs five tracks deep, with Anthony B, Teflon and Pamputtae among the names carrying the weight.
