E Drop Riddim – Various Artists

E Drop Riddim produced by Various Artists 2010

E Drop Riddim keeps things lean, with just five cuts and a tracklist that leans straight into money talks, tough social commentary and the usual dancehall hustle. D Matix and Ninja Cutty’s “Money Making” sets the pace, while Junior Demus’ “Dem Nuh Like Wi” and Genious’ “Corrupt Politician” bring the sharper edge; E Levelz and Fire B keep the pressure on with “No More” and “Achieve. ” Coming in 2010, it sits in that period when reggae riddims were getting tighter and more digital, and this one has more bite than polish, which suits the lineup. There’s no grand concept here, just a compact selector’s piece that fits neatly among the year’s stripped-down reggae sets and leaves room for the vocals to do the talking.
