Gunman Riddim – Stingray

Stingray’s Gunman Riddim sits comfortably in the label’s dancehall catalogue, a 2014 set that leans into a stern, old-school gunman theme without sounding dusty. The cut list moves from Antonio’s reflective “Life Journey” and Prince Malachi’s “Help Our Soul” to Sandra Cross on “Over You, ” while Matic Horns’ instrumental version sharpens the whole thing with brass and a harder edge that nods to the classic “Gunman” lineage. There’s a nice contrast between the conscious singers and the more street-hardened voices, especially on Isiah Mentor aka Lily Melody’s “Murdera Friends” and G Starr’s “Farewell Wicked Man, ” which keep the mood rooted in warning and testimony. The project was released on April 22, 2014, and runs 13 tracks deep, with 13 different artists across the riddim.
