Harbour Shark Riddim – Pretty Boy Records

Harbour Shark Riddim cuts from that mid-2000s dancehall period when a single instrumental could carry a whole little corner of the scene, and Pretty Boy Records lined this one with nine cuts in 2005. The mix moves from Farmer George’s “Reputation” and General Degree’s “Be Good” into Hawkeye’s “Phat, ” Ice Man’s “Night Time, ” and Krazy D’s “The Way It Goes, ” with Lady G bringing some attitude on “Stress Free” and M’lonie easing things down on “Blame It On The Rain. ” It’s the sort of riddim that lives on momentum, with Voicemail’s “Spin Yuh Roll” giving the set a sharper, more club-ready finish. General Degree’s “Be Good” has the kind of tight, punchy energy that gives the whole project its pulse.
