Event Riddim (2013) – Deluxe Edition – Weedy G Soundforce – 24 Tracks!!!

Weedy G Soundforce’s Event Riddim lands in that early-2013 zone where dancehall was still chasing sharp, digital juggling riddims with a heavy mix of roots-minded singers and fast-talking party cuts. The set is credited to Deluxe Edition / Weedy G Soundforce and runs deep enough to feel like a proper sound-system package, not just a quick one-riddim upload.

The rhythm is driven and brightly clipped, with the sort of urgent, Euro-tight bassline and skittering drum pattern that leaves room for both chant-down messages and dancefloor talk. Anthony B opens hard on Things A Get Harder, and Sizzla’s No Food gives the riddim its steeliest roots tension. Perfect Giddimani’s Spongebob has long been singled out for its fast style energy, while Lutan Fyah’s Riot In The Streets and Grindsman’s True Rastaman keep the project grounded in conscious reggae phrasing.

The cast mixes established names with voices that were pushing harder at the time: Cookie The Herbalist, Teacha Dee, Thai Stylee, Menny More, Shocking Murray, Don Tippa, Sugar Banton, and the Delly Ranks-assisted cut from Thrilla U all help widen the palette. There is also a Chronixx dubplate cut in the full 24-track edition, which gives the release extra collector value and points to the kind of support Weedy G Soundforce was drawing around that period.

What makes Event Riddim click is that it never sits in one mood for too long. It swings from hard-edged commentary to sly, body-moving dancehall, and that balance is exactly why it still reads like a useful snapshot of 2013’s underground-to-mainstream lane.
