Lame Excuse Riddim – Ras Dizzle|Loyal Linkz

Shakespear opens Lame Excuse Riddim with “Jingle Bell, ” and that uneasy mix of seasonal cheek and straight-up dancehall attitude sets the tone for a juggling that feels sharp rather than overworked. Ras Dizzle and Loyal Linkz keep the rhythm tight and forward-driving, with enough space for the vocals to cut through, while Alva’s “My Story” appears in both clean and raw versions, giving the set a little extra edge and range. Notalone’s “Mi Nah Cheat” and Damell’s title cut push the relationship-and-deflection theme further, and Robbie Rule’s “Hard Working People” grounds the whole thing with a more everyday, street-level angle. Released in December 2015, it sits neatly in that era’s crop of lean digital dancehall riddims: compact, vocal-heavy, and built for quick replay rather than grand gesture.
