Driff Riddim – Top Notch Projex

Top Notch Projex was still in that mid-2000s dancehall pocket here, and Driff Riddim leans more rugged than polished, with a hard-stepping groove that leaves room for the voice and the attitude to do the talking. Capleton’s “Girl Time” brings the fire, Bugle’s “Everyday” keeps the pace moving, and Vybz Kartel’s “Nuh Fight (Raw)” is the sharpest cut in the set, while Aidonia’s “Golden Eagle (Raw)” and Macka Diamond’s dancefloor bite keep the energy jagged. The riddim is credited with 12 tracks in 2006, and the version sits at the tail end, underlining that this was built as a proper juggling package rather than a one-off single.
