Gutter Ball Riddim – Various Artists

Gutter Ball Riddim feels like a nastier, more party-minded dancehall juggling than the name might suggest, with Demarco, T. O. K, Voicemail and Beenie Man linking up with Voicemail for the waistline anthem “Whine And Move Your Waist. ” The cuts lean into that late-2000s club energy: brash hooks, clear split versions for edit and raw runs, and a beat that keeps the kick drum tight while the vocals do the talking. Demarco’s “Excellent Hole” and Kiprich’s “You Body Work” sit right in the pocket, but the Beenie Man/Voicemail combination gives the riddim its most obvious crossover spark. By the time it lands on the final “Gutter Ball Riddim Version, ” the project has already sold its angle: a straightforward, rowdy dancehall set built for selectors who wanted the clean and explicit sides in one place.
