Hot Patty Riddim – DJ Frass Records

Three songs, three sharp-tongued dancehall voices, and no wasted motion — that’s the shape of Hot Patty Riddim, which keeps things tight with Kiprich, Tony Matterhorn and Twin of Twins all taking aim over DJ Frass’s 2011 juggling. Kiprich’s “Talk” comes in with the kind of sly chat-laced delivery he’s made a career out of, while Twin of Twins turn “Cigarette Murder” into the sort of playful, cutting diss cut they handle best. Tony Matterhorn’s “The Sins Of Twins” rounds it out with the same back-and-forth tension, and the whole thing runs short and focused, clocking in as a compact slice of early-2010s dancehall from DJ Frass Records.
