Formation Riddim – Various Artists

Formation Riddim comes off as a lean 2010 dancehall set rather than a big-name showcase, with six cuts spread across six artists and Wayne Marshall giving it the steadiest pull. The production sits in that clean, early-2010s Jamaican lane: clipped drums, a tight bassline, and enough space in the arrangement for each voice to cut through without crowding the riddim. Deva Bratt’s “Nymphomaniac” and Kiprich’s “U No Hear” bring the sharper, more talkative energy, while Wayne Marshall’s “Working Hard” gives the selection a slightly more grounded, workmanlike finish. Baby G’s title cut keeps the whole thing centered, moving at a mid-tempo pace with a no-frills bounce that lets the vocal phrasing do most of the work.
