Fresh And Healthy Riddim – Swagcrew Records

A lean, bass-heavy dancehall cut with a slightly playful edge runs through Fresh And Healthy Riddim, the 2014 Swagcrew Records juggling that lines up Diamond White, Fireflex, Infinity and Juggernaut over just six tracks. Juggernaut gets the most room here, and “Nah Watch Dem (Pree Gyal and Money)” feels like the sharper of the two turns, riding the groove with a tougher, more streetwise bite than the smoother “Just 2 Hurt Me. ” Swagcrew keep the arrangement uncluttered, so the instrumental has space to breathe and the hooks land cleanly, which is exactly the sort of thing that makes a small one-riddim set linger in the ear a little longer; even the title feels like a sly nod to the music’s clean, no-frills snap.
