Laba Laba Riddim – Bizzarri Records

Bizzarri Records wasn’t usually the name you’d first reach for when talking straight-up bashment, but Laba Laba finds the Italian crew leaning hard into a brisk, digital dancehall cut instead of anything rootsier. The riddim has that quick, clipped momentum that keeps the energy up, giving tracks like Skarra Mucci’s “Dancehall Energy” and Ward 21’s “Links Like Mine” plenty of room to cut through with sharp hooks and club-ready pressure. Lion D opens the set with the title cut, while Ras Tewelde’s “Money” and Jah Sun’s “Mad Up The Place” keep the pacing tight and lively. With 10 vocals in just under 30 minutes, the project moves fast, and Stevie Culture’s “Music Me Love” closes it out with the same lean, no-nonsense feel that runs through the whole release.
