Gimmi Nuh Riddim 2012

Gimmi Nuh Riddim slots into that early-2010s dancehall run of lean, cheeky party cuts, and this one keeps the focus tight with just five songs and five voices. Mr Majiq opens with “Gimmi Gimmi Nu, ” a tune that leans into the same insistent hook as Dertee’s “Gimmi Likkle, ” while Chris Militant’s “Duggu Duggu Time” pushes the tempo a little harder. The more playful side comes through on Top Gadget’s “Bed Room Tonite” and Maximum Satisfaction’s “If Me Gi Yu Some, ” which give the riddim its rude-boy bedroom chatter without overcrowding it. The whole thing feels like a compact club package rather than a sprawling compilation, and coming out in 2012, it sits neatly in that period when dancehall was favouring quick, hooky singles over anything too elaborate.
