Last Ride Riddim – Gv Records

GV Records leans into a dark, rolling dancehall groove here, the kind with a steady pull in the drums and enough space for the vocals to ride the riddim without feeling crowded. Last Ride Riddim, released on August 5, 2021, runs ten cuts deep, and the lineup keeps the energy moving between swagger and romantic tension. 2 Easy’s “Pon Di Buddy” and Billy Da Goat’s “She Wan Ride” set the tone early, while Chefty, Fiftie, and Shack Wes bring a tougher edge with “You Me Wan, ” “Buss Head, ” and “Gansgta Love. ” J Slicc’s “Blessed” and Tuso’s “She Love De West” give the project a smoother contrast before Zend closes it out with “Love Fi Smoke. ” It sits neatly in that 2021 wave of lean, artist-driven dancehall riddims where the hook and the groove had to do the heavy lifting.
