Get Rich Riddim (2017) – Mind Power Records

Get Rich Riddim from Mind Power Records keeps the focus tight: five cuts, all 2017, all circling the same hustle-minded dancehall pulse. The title themes tell the story on their own — money talks, pressure, survival, quick success — and the artists ride that line with different angles, from Kallie Strong’s “Want Money” to RammaLow’s “Get Rich Fi A Day” and Young Knockaz on “Dead Face Inna Pocket. ” It’s the kind of compact riddim where the energy stays on one level, with the singers and deejays working over a lean, no-frills framework instead of chasing big shifts or flashy detours. Ashi Seductres and Ilonie round out the set with “Butterflys” and “Change, ” and the whole project closes in on that hard-headed, get-up-and-go dancehall mood that defined a lot of mid-2010s juggling.
