Gal Dash Out Riddim – Wmg Lab Records

WMG Lab Records kept Gal Dash Out Riddim tight and cut to the bone: four tracks, four voices, and a sharp little 2017 dancehall set that leans hard into gun talk and girl-call energy without wasting a second. Kevin Dodds opens with “Good Oye, ” Lil Vill and Ice Dan lock into the sly push-and-pull of “Bend Yuh Back, ” and S Carter returns twice with the harder-edged “Gun Buss” and “This Buss, ” which give the whole project its roughest, most road-ready moments. It’s the kind of compact juggling that feels more like a local operator testing a sound than chasing a big crossover, and that’s part of the appeal. In the WMG Lab catalogue, this one sits neatly as a lean, no-frills dancehall drop with just enough attitude to stick.
