Legendary Riddim – Various Artists

Legitimate dancehall momentum runs through the Legendary Riddim, a 10-cut 2005 set that keeps the energy moving without losing its reggae base. Aidonia opens with “Hollywood, ” Courtney John brings a smoother touch on “Get Up, ” and Determine’s “Hoorah” gives the jugglin’ a sharper edge, while Jovi Rockwell and Kris Kelli push the vibe into more personal territory with “Hurt” and “I Make My Own Money. ” Mr. Vegas turns up with the cheekier “Belly Dancer, ” but the cut that lingers is Determine’s “Hoorah, ” the kind of tune that anchors a riddim like this and gives the whole sequence its bite.
