How Mi Look Riddim – Heights Records

Swade’s “Dem Nuh Member” gives How Mi Look Riddim its sharpest pull, and Heights Records frames it with a lean 2012 dancehall set that keeps the focus on catchy vocal turns rather than overload. Brave comes in early with “Face Inna Mi Pocket, ” Jah Rain gets two goes at “Whine Up Yu Body” in edit and raw form, and the rest of the lineup — Banging, Ryval, Stainless and Tina Nunezz — keeps the energy moving across a brisk, party-minded riddim. There’s a bit of cheek and swagger in the way the voices sit on the rhythm, with Tina Nunezz’s “Good Good” adding a cleaner, flirtier edge before the version closes things out. Still, Swade is the one who leaves the strongest mark here, riding the cut with the kind of confidence that gives the whole juggling its identity.
