Hard Killa Riddim (2021) – Slick 876 / Morris Code Productions

Slick 876 and Morris Code Productions line up Hard Killa as a compact 2021 dancehall set with eight cuts and no dead weight, led by Shawn Storm’s “Sum Gunz” and Sikka Rymes’ “Like Bird. ” The energy stays sharp and threatening rather than flashy, with titles like “A Nuh Play Ting, ” “Hell Bruck Loose, ” and “Never Touch Di Road Yet” setting the tone before the voices even come in. Ingram, Acyd Reign, Kryptonyt, Chinsu, and Draxxx Regine fill out the roster, and the whole thing runs just over 22 minutes, keeping the riddim tight and focused. The release lists eight songs in total.
