Lickshot Riddim – Aps.Columbian

Already the 2013 Lickshot Riddim has that sharp, gunshot-styled dancehall swing in its title alone, and APS. Columbian keeps the tune-up lean with just a handful of cuts that let each voice land cleanly: Baby Demus and Dwayne Smith’s “I Apologise” fronts the vocal side, while Indecka’s “Rasta Big Up” and Mr CMJ featuring Hours’ “Church Trip” push the mood in different directions over the same cut. The promo mix that surfaced later confirms the core lineup and shows how the riddim was being presented as a compact one-riddim package, with the instrumental sitting right alongside the songs rather than hidden away. It’s the kind of release that lives on the contrast between the hard-edged title and the more reflective singers riding it, and the sequence ends where it should, with the bare “Lick Shot Instrumental” spelling out the rhythm’s shape in plain form.
