Happy Hour Riddim – Chimney Records

Produced by Chimney Records in 2014, Happy Hour Riddim pulled together a heavy dancehall lineup with Alkaline’s A Bagga Tings, Beenie Man’s Badmind People, Demarco’s Bun Up Road, I-Octane’s Gyal Ting, Mavado’s Nah Use Dem, and Vybz Kartel’s Mi Nuh Trust People among the key cuts. The set also included Tarrus Riley and Zagga on Free, plus RDX, giving the juggling a mix of hard-edged lyrics and smoother crossover energy. Released in the latter part of 2014, the rhythm quickly picked up heat and was noted as one of Chimney Records’ stronger years, with the project helping cement the label’s run as one of dancehall’s most reliable hitmakers.
