Luveve Riddim – Jusa Dementor Abra

LUVEVE RIDDIM produced by JUSA DEMENTOR ABRA 2013

Luveve Riddim keeps its footing in that rugged Zimbabwean dancehall pocket Jusa Dementor was carving out around 2013, with a clipped, bass-heavy groove that leaves plenty of room for chants, hooks, and streetwise patter. Winky D turns up twice here, first on “Mubobobo” and again on “Conductor, ” while Viper’s “Empress Of Devine” and Dizzy Dee’s “Caan Harm Mi” sharpen the set with a more melodic, singjay edge. Jusa, a UK-based Zimbabwean producer, had already been tied to the country’s rising riddim circuit through A. B. R. A Records, and this project sits right in that lane, pulling together voices that give the instrumental different shades without softening its bite. The medley opens the package cleanly, and the final stretch closes on Melvin C’s “Shamwari Dzakanaka, ” which leaves the riddim sounding more communal than any single anthem could on its own.
