Dutty Bakkle Riddim – All Connect Records

Jumping in with Vershon’s “Biggest Strenght, ” this one leans into the kind of trim, rough-edged dancehall feel that lets the deejays do the talking. All Connect Records put it out in September 2014, and the lineup gives the riddim a proper street-corner pull with Beenie Man on “Nah Work Roun Here, ” Demarco on “All Dem A Talk, ” and Rayted’s “Body Good” adding another sharp cut. Vershon’s opener has the strongest immediate hook, while Beenie Man’s cut brings that veteran snap that always sharpens a juggling. The sequencing keeps the energy moving with six vocal cuts before the instrumental closes things out, so it plays like a producer setting the pace first and letting the voices ride after.
