Drums Of War Riddim – High Stakes Records

Drums Of War Riddim hits with that militant, gun-talk dancehall energy High Stakes Records was pushing around the late 2000s, and the name fits the sound: sharp, tense, and built for the dance. The cut list leans on a strong run from Kari Jess with “Colda Than Cold, ” Bramma’s “Shot Fly, ” and Dxcell’s “Gunz Like Clothes, ” while Jim Crow and Jigsy add some extra muscle on “Gal Every Season. ” The release is dated 2008 in the catalog, though the digital copies circulating online point to a July 2009 High Stakes Records credit, which suggests the riddim lived a little longer than the original upload date. The sequencing keeps the raw and edit versions close together before closing on a lone version cut, so it plays like a producer’s showcase as much as a vocal compilation.
