Free Kick Riddim – Kingston 11 Productions

Free Kick Riddim lands in that tough, mid-tempo dancehall pocket where the groove is sharp and the bass does most of the talking, with Kingston 11 Productions lining up 11 cuts around the same instrumental in 2018. Razor B gets one of the stronger turns here with “Anywhere, ” then doubles back with a raw version that leans harder into the rough edge of the riddim, while Blakkman’s “Respect” and Ink Xl’s “Syntax” keep the energy riding cleanly across the project. There’s a little more variety in the cast too, from Sika’s “Live In” to Dalla Supreme’s “Wine In The Mirror, ” which helps the riddim feel more like a proper session than a simple compilation. Released on June 29, 2018, it captures Kingston 11 in that era when they were putting out compact, no-frills dancehall packages built for selectors and dance floors alike.
