Lemongrass Riddim – Burchmore Simon Production

Lemongrass has a bright, party-ready pulse, the sort of dancehall cut that feels made for a crowded sound system and a quick run of hooks. Burchmore Simon Production keeps the vibe tight across seven voices, and the way Big Red rides “Backa De Line” gives the riddim a rougher edge, while Lil J’s “Dance On Meh” leans into the more playful side of the rhythm. Passion, B52, and Bonesman each slot in cleanly too, so the project moves like a compact showcase rather than a sprawling compilation. It’s a 2012 set, and that little detail matters, because you can hear the era’s straightforward, no-frills energy in the whole thing.
