Gold Mine Riddim – World Beat Music

Gold Mine comes at you with that early-2000s dancehall snap and a money-minded theme that runs clean through the cut titles, from Capleton’s hard-edged “Goldmine” to Lexxus’ “Low Dem” and Lutan Fiyah’s “Rising For A Fall. ” World Beat Music packed eleven tracks onto the 2004 set, and the nicest thing about it is how the voices sit on the rhythm without crowding it, letting Lady G’s “Can’t Live Like We” and Danny English’s “Who Fool Dem” add some character to the bounce. There’s enough grit in the riddim to keep the hardcore side happy, but it leaves room for the sweeter notes too, especially on Glamorous’ “Crazy Love” closing the sequence.
