High Tide Riddim (2018) – Vibez Productionz

A breezy, tide-swept cut of 2018 dancehall, High Tide Riddim keeps things tight with just five tracks and a compact cast that doesn’t waste a second. Vibez Productionz runs the whole thing, and the instrumental sits alongside songs from Imran Nerdy and Saveion, Michael Robinson, Sedale, and Shemmy J, all moving over the same 103-BPM groove with a light, rolling bounce. There’s a little seasonal lift to it, the kind of riddim that feels close to the water without getting soft, and the vocals lean playful rather than aggressive. Sedale’s “Boatride Bad” pushes that mood furthest, but the sharpest finish comes from Shemmy J on “Dem Gyal, ” where the rhythm locks in and the hook rides it clean.
