Grimey Life Riddim – Bad So Productions

Bad So Productions’ 2016 Grimey Life Riddim is a seven-track dancehall release with a straight, no-frills instrumental lead-in and a compact artist lineup that includes Jah Vinci, Navino, Raytid, Ryme Minista, Scubby, and Teejay. Rich, Kill Dem Neat, Road A Get Quff, Run Dem Dung, Go Fi Dem, and When Mi Squeeze carry the same gritty energy as the title suggests, while the presence of Jah Vinci and Teejay gives the set two of its strongest names. Bad So Productions keeps the focus on voice and rhythm here, with the instrumental sitting at the front of the tracklist and the whole package coming in as a tight 2016 dancehall set built for selectors and dubplate-style rotation.
