High Choice Riddim – Kikz Records

Already by the time I Wayne and Queen Ifrica lock into “Powers, ” High Choice Riddim has that tidy late-2019 dancehall pulse Kikz Records was pushing here: a seven-song juggling with eight voices, most of them delivered in a stripped, upright style that keeps the focus on the groove and the message. Bingy Linkz’s “Make You Proud” and Loyal Flames’ “Oh Mama” sit neatly beside the more roots-minded cuts from Dyman Mind and Ras Ghandi, while King Jesus and DLex add a firmer street-level edge at the back end of the sequence. The production doesn’t chase anything flashy; it leans on a steady one-drop-leaning drum pattern, dry snares, and a bass line that stays low and deliberate, carrying the whole set at a measured 81 BPM.
