Kingston-New York / Top Ten Riddim – Secret Rival Music

So this one sits in that 2017 dancehall pocket where the riddim has a clean, hooky swing and the vocals are doing most of the heavy lifting. Top Ten Riddim pulls in a tidy mix of voices, with Tuffest on “Real Tappa Tappa, ” Screechy Joe’s “In A Di Dancehall, ” and Nardo Ranks turning up twice, including the Vision Black pairing on “Paycheck. ” Secret Rival Music keeps the production tight and uncluttered, aiming for a sound that feels street-ready rather than overly dressed up, with enough bounce for the DJs and enough space for each singer to land their line. The energy is brisk, the percussion stays sharp, and the bass line carries a lean, forward-moving pulse that keeps the whole set moving in one straight dancehall groove.
