Forty Seven Riddim – Various Artists

Forty Seven Riddim – Various Artists (2009) gathers Charly Black and Pretty Kitty with Esco (Raw) on a compact dancehall set built around the two-track pairing of Turn Mi On and Buss A Whine. Charly Black and Pretty Kitty’s Turn Mi On is the headline name on the riddim, giving the project its most recognizable duet angle, while Esco (Raw) adds the contrasting edge with Buss A Whine. With only a couple of releases in the lineup, it plays like a tight studio snapshot from 2009 rather than an all-star compilation, and it keeps the focus on the featured performances from those key voices.
