Mad Summer Riddim – Dredavis

Out of the 2016 crop of soca cuts, Mad Summer Riddim feels like a compact little party tape from the middle of the season, with Dredavis keeping it tight across just four tracks. Masta Link’s “Summa Nice” and Mercenary’s “Enjoy Wi Self” lean into the bright, celebratory side of the rhythm, while HK Problem City and Troopa Don bring a more street-level edge on “Nuh Tell Mi Bout Summa” and “Fi Di Ghetto Youth. ” Dredavis’ production keeps the pace lively without getting too crowded, which gives each vocalist enough room to ride the groove cleanly. It sits nicely in the producer’s 2016 soca catalogue as one of those small-format riddims that goes for quick impact rather than a long roll call, and that economy is part of the charm.
