Mamasita Riddim – Mezzo-Forte Records

Sparse and punchy, Mamasita Riddim leans on a two-cut dancehall set from Mezzo-Forte Records, with Sheriff’s “Move Your Body” and Mac Make It Stick carrying the whole juggling. There’s no big cast or sprawling sequence here, just a tight little 2012 package that keeps the focus on the groove and the vocal hooks rather than on variety. Sheriff’s cut is the name that pops first, especially because the title does exactly what you’d expect from a dancehall selector’s tool: it pushes movement, not mood. Mamasita Riddim was produced by Mezzo-Forte Records in 2012.
