Gone Fi 6ix Riddim – 80s Records

Gone Fi 6ix Riddim finds 80s Records in a sharper, more stripped-back juggling mood than the name might suggest, with the whole set leaning into hard-edged dancehall cuts rather than any retro gimmick. Released on November 11, 2016, it gathers nine tracks across eight vocal performances, opening strong with Chino’s “Stunt” and then pushing through Blak Diamon’s “Easy, ” Uncle Mucks’ “High Grade, ” and the Alozade and Chico link-up “Badman. ” The rhythm itself keeps a tight, compact feel, and that matters here: nothing overstays its welcome, and the sequencing moves like the producer wanted each voice to hit quickly before handing off to the next. It closes on the 80s Records instrumental, a neat way to leave the riddim exposed after the singers have done their turn.
