Haffi Get Dem Riddim – Platinum Power Productions

By 2004, Platinum Power Productions had already locked in a sharp little run of dancehall projects, and Haffi Get Dem sits right in that hard-edged stretch with six cuts carrying the same militant pulse. Capleton’s title track, Elephant Man’s “Fire Redda, ” and Vybz Kartel’s “Roll Up” do most of the heavy lifting, while Collie Weed, Wayne, and Lollie Lue fill out the lineup with the kind of street-facing delivery this rhythm wants. The production leans into a taut, dry mid-tempo knock, with a bass line that stays low and stubborn and percussion that keeps the whole thing moving without ever feeling cluttered. It’s the sort of riddim built for deejays to ride straight, each voice cutting through clean over that sparing, pressure-cooker groove.
