Gaza Federation Riddim – Blakspade Records

Bright, militant energy runs through Gaza Federation Riddim, a 2012 Blakspade Records cut that leans on clipped dancehall drums and a hard, march-like pulse rather than any glossy polish. La Lewis turns up twice, first alongside Lackhat on “We The Girl Dem Program” and then solo on the sharper “War Season, ” while Deva Bratt’s “Dats How Di Federation Roll” and Renegad’s “Comfortable To” keep the set riding that garrison-style swagger. Nuclear’s “Love Fi Di Gal Dem” gives the riddim a little more room to breathe, and Dosa Medicine closes things with “Nuh Gi Mi Nuh Talk, ” keeping the whole thing tight at six tracks. It sits neatly in that early-2010s period when Gaza-era dancehall still leaned heavy on factional chants, street slogans, and propulsive one-drop-to-steppers pressure.
