Kingston 6 Riddim (2019) – Boysie Records

Kingston 6 Riddim lines up nine cuts from eight artists, so this one moves like a proper dancehall juggling rather than a lone-song showcase, with Intence getting the strongest push through “Talk Talk” and “Bad Yuh Bad” while I Waata’s “Yahh” and Iyara’s “Neva Neva” keep the energy sharp across the set. Boysie Records keeps the production lean and hard-edged, leaning into the kind of raw, street-ready pulse that suits Stacious’ “Laugh Offa Dem, ” Pamputae’s “Advertisement, ” and SHALLACK’s “PHUK’D UP” just as well as D Dominant’s “Trap Daddy. ” Released on January 4, 2019, the project runs nine tracks in about 26 minutes, which gives it a quick, punchy frame and keeps the pressure on from the first drop to the last.
