For You Riddim – Crush Dem

Crush Dem’s For You Riddim sits in that 2017 run of compact dancehall juggling projects, and it keeps the focus tight with just five cuts, including the instrumental. Emanuel’s Mi Father and Medican’s Best Father give the set its family-and-respect angle, while Mikki Ras’ Tonight and Tinka Money’s Cya Sleep lean into the late-night corner of the dancehall dance. The production has a clean, stripped-back pulse rather than a crowded arrangement, which leaves room for the vocals to carry the hook work and the deejays to ride the pocket without getting buried. Crush Dem Records handles both the riddim and the instrumental, and the tracklist is rounded out by Emanuel, Medican, Mikki Ras, and Tinka Money over that one backing.
