Hard Hustling Riddim – Idlers Corner Records

Hard-hustling energy. Idlers Corner Records keeps this 2016 dancehall juggling lean and direct, with Tenor Youthman’s title cut leading the way, George Palmer’s “Reggae Vibes” adding a smoother counterpoint, and I-Maa-Ra’s “I Love The Way” giving the set a little more lift. The sequencing also folds in Marshall Neeko’s “Hard Hustling Dub” and a clean version, so the riddim gets a proper dub-and-instrumental finish instead of ending on the vocal takes alone. It’s a five-track set with four unique artists, all tied back to the same production credit.
