Evil Deeds Riddim Aka Resident Evil Riddim (2008) – Exodus Nuclear Records

Back in 2008, dancehall was deep in that gritty, war-ready mode, and Evil Deeds Riddim aka Resident Evil fits right into the period’s darker edge with Exodus Nuclear Records steering the juggling. The title alone tells you the mood, and the cuts back it up: Vybz Kartel’s “Pop It Off” comes in sharp and provocative, while Blak Ryno’s “Evil Deeds” leans harder into the menace of the riddim’s name. Shawn Storm linking with Kartel on “Let Me Undress” adds a little extra heat, and Deva Brat’s “Pon The Nazzle Auto Tune” gives the set a more playful, twisted turn. With seven tracks total and a clean version to close it out, this one feels like a tight little snapshot of late-2000s Dancehall’s darker side.
