Mad Rock Riddim (2013) – Father And Son Records

Father and Son Records keeps this 2013 dancehall set moving with a compact 11-track line-up and a built-in version cut at the end, so the riddim gets room to breathe after the vocal passes. Finesse, Denise Castillo, Andidre and Frank Boss do most of the heavy lifting, with Andidre’s “Wah Know” and Frank Boss’s “Summer Time” each getting both raw and radio mixes, a nice little sequencing touch that gives the release a more complete feel. The tracklist also leans into party-minded tunes like “Beach Party Thing” and “Get A Bottle, ” which keeps the mood light even when the deejay delivery turns rougher. Father and Son Records handles the production credit throughout, and the package closes with the “Mad Rock Riddim Version” instrumental.
