Gang War Riddim – Ikation Records

New York’s dancehall link-up around Ikation Records in 2011 came in lean and sharp on Gang War Riddim, an eight-song set that keeps the pressure on without overloading the frame. The cut list runs through tough talk and street-name bravado, with Chase Cross on “Gully Me Born” and Patexx’s “No Frighten Me” setting the tone early, while Suhverto’s “Gal A Seh Addi Best” and Hype Don’s “Still A Wonder” keep the energy taut and restless. At just 19 minutes, it moves like a compact sound-system blast rather than a full compilation, and the lone three-artist pairing on “Cross My Path” adds a nice bit of friction before Khalij closes the sequence with “Jah Send Me. ” The title track version from Ikation Records seals it with that hard-edged 2011 dancehall stamp.
