Global Riddim – Fire Links Productions

A hard, percussive dancehall cut with a raw, street-corner pulse, Global Riddim feels like it was made to shake up a sound system rather than sit politely in the background. Fire Links Productions keeps the pace tense and punchy, and Beenie Man slides in with “Heart Attack” like he knows exactly where the pocket is, while Elephant Man’s pair of cuts push the energy even further with that skittering, forward-charging delivery he was running so well in the mid-2000s. D’angel linking with Beenie Man on “One Man Me Got” adds a nice crossover twist, and Sizzla’s “Gangsta Rolling In Town” gives the set a grittier edge. The full 11-track lineup also pulls in Bunji Garlin, Ghost, Harry Toddler, and Zumjay, with 2005 stamped all over it, right down to the sharp, militant feel.
