Happy Day Riddim – Star Music

Anthony B’s “Money Man” is the sharpest way into Star Music’s Happy Day Riddim, a 2013 dancehall set that keeps its energy tight and street-level while still giving room for a few different moods. The riddim runs through 12 tracks and 10 voices, with Flexxx cutting both clean and raw versions of “Nuh Like We, ” King Asar doing the same on “Having Fun, ” and Ishawna sliding in with “Mother’s Love” for a softer, more reflective turn. Ninja Kid’s title cut keeps the tempo light, while Stalkaz Dalkaz and The Specialist push the compilation back toward tougher dancehall talk. Star Music even closes with the instrumental, which leaves the rhythm itself doing the final talking. But Anthony B’s “Money Man” is the one that gives the whole set its firmest pull, with the kind of hook that anchors the project’s swing.
