Furtif Riddim – Don Jalys

Furtif Riddim lands in that raw 2013 dancehall pocket where the energy is tense, the bassline stays forward, and the vocalists keep punching out short, sharp cuts rather than long-winded hooks. Don Jalys lines up a broad cast here, with Datcha Dollar’Z on “Siddung Pon It, ” Nicy on “Crokéw, ” and the cheeky “Pajen Lass” pairing Shabba with Nicy, while tracks like “Judgement Day” and “We Run Di Thing” lean into the tougher side of the riddim. The set runs 26 songs deep, and several of the titles point straight at the everyday pressure and posturing that drive a lot of Caribbean dancehall, from “Badmind” and “Enemies” to “Working Hard” and “Me Nah Stop. ” Released on Don Jalys Production, it came out on December 30, 2013, with every cut clocking in at around three minutes or less.
