Eva Frass Riddim – Frass Muzik

Coming from Frass Muzik, a name that usually turns up on harder-edged dancehall work, Eva Frass Riddim keeps the focus tight with eight cuts and a lean, no-frills instrumental version in the middle of the set. The production leans on a clipped drum pattern, a heavy rolling bassline and the kind of sparse keyboard phrasing that leaves plenty of room for the voices to cut through. Blacks’ Dash Out Di Ting, Frass and D. Twinz on No Fool, and Kunte Kash’s Tight So give the riddim its sharpest edges, while Stamma Kid and Prezerv bring a more streetwise patter on Roam Di Street. It’s a mid-tempo 2011 dancehall set, built for rhythmic talk-singing and punchy, measured delivery rather than big melodic turns.
