Gyalgame Riddim – Kaptiionz Music/Optimum Productions

A gritty, modern dancehall bounce runs through Gyalgame Riddim, with enough space in the rhythm for both sleek hooks and rougher street talk. Kaptiionz Music and Optimum Productions keep the tracklist tight at ten cuts, and the split between clean and raw versions on songs like Sattin’s “Exclusive, ” Dohlance’s “More, ” and Figga De Millionz’s “Soon Realise” gives it that classic selector-friendly shape. Ric Carbi’s “Bawl Out” sets the tone early, while Star Bingi’s “Physical Communication, ” featuring Lushous, adds a little extra flirtation to the mix. Kayonii’s “Feelings” softens the edges before Khing closes things out with “Slam, ” a blunt finish that leaves the riddim on a hard, sharp note.
