Inna Rub-A-Dub Style Riddim – John John

A lean rub-a-dub cut with plenty of 2013 momentum, this John John set lines up seven tracks around a dubwise backbone and keeps the energy moving without crowding the groove. Chronixx leads off with “Alpha and Omega, ” heard here in both raw and edit versions, and that double hit immediately sets the tone: rootsy, vocal-forward, and cleanly aimed. From there the riddim shifts into tougher territory with Chuck Fenda and Junior Reid’s “Warfare, ” I-Octane’s “Love We A Deal Wid, ” and the heavyweight pairing of Jah Cure and Bounty Killer on “A Murdah, ” which gives the project its sharpest crossover tension. Mykal Rose’s “Rude Bwoy” brings veteran authority, while Sizzla closes the circle with “Big Surprise” in a way that keeps the whole set anchored in classic dancehall pressure.
