Koco Riddim – Lexzona Muzyk / Locksmith Records

KOCO RIDDIM produced by LEXZONA MUZYK / LOCKSMITH RECORDS 2013

Lexzona Muzyk and Locksmith Records were already leaning into a hard, compact dancehall lane by the time Koco Riddim dropped in 2013, and this one keeps the focus tight with a strong veteran-heavy lineup. Capleton’s “Dem A Bass” comes in like a warning shot, while Sizzla’s “Badmind Set Dem” and Beenie Man’s “Me Neva” give the rhythm its most familiar pull, each artist riding the groove with a different kind of pressure. Teflon, Delly Ranx, Smokiz, and Furious keep the set moving without breaking the mood, and the instrumental version tucked at the end makes the whole thing feel like a proper producer’s statement rather than just a loose compilation. Released on May 7, 2013, it lands right in that era when sharp digital dancehall was still finding fresh ways to sound lean and rugged.
