Eye Ball Riddim – Various Artists

Some riddims don’t need much more than two cuts to make their point, and this one keeps it tight with Artaga’s “Balance” and Mayor’s raw-edged “Bad Man Nuh Talk, ” both riding a 2011 dancehall rhythm that leans on a direct, no-frills pulse rather than studio trickery. Artaga comes in with a steadier, more measured turn, while Mayor pushes the tougher side of the slot, and that contrast gives the project a little extra shape even with such a short tracklist. The production credit is listed simply as Various Artists, which fits the spare setup here: no big package, just a lean two-song release aimed squarely at selectors and dancers. Eye Ball Riddim runs two tracks long, with Artaga - Balance and Mayor - Bad Man Nuh Talk (Raw) on the lineup.
