Love Addiction Riddim – Jnk Records

2017 was a year dancehall kept leaning into compact, hooky juggling riddims, and Love Addiction fits that mood with a clean eight-track set from JNK Records that runs just 27 minutes. The cuts move through lover’s rock phrasing and tougher street talk without losing the bounce, so Pyhton’s “Dog World, ” Chilando’s “Stalking You, ” and Krazy Don’s “Love You So” each catch a slightly different angle on the same pulse. There’s a faint late-summer gloss to the whole thing, the kind of production that leaves room for the vocals to do the heavy lifting while the rhythm keeps a tight, stepping groove underneath. JNK closes it out with the instrumental “Love Addiction Riddim, ” which makes the project feel like a proper selector’s tool rather than just a loose collection of songs.
