Manifiesto Riddim – Rdj Records and Infini-T Music

Manifiesto Riddim rolls with a lean, streetwise dancehall pulse, the kind of tense, rolling cut that leaves room for Spanish-language toasting and a few sharp hooks to cut through the noise. RDJ Records and Infini-T Music line up six songs from nine artists here, with Buffleman’s “Brand New Day, ” Pipo Ti and Utan Bassum’s “Inna Di War, ” and Señor R alongside Ras Kuko on “In The City” doing the heaviest lifting; Newton’s “DesconfíO” and Kins Sound’s “Maestros Musicales” keep the set moving in that same bristling direction. It sits neatly beside Infini-T Music’s other early-2010s riddim work, but this one leans harder into a compact, militant dancehall feel rather than chasing anything glossy. As a 2013 release, it lands right in that run of Spanish-backed Caribbean projects where the label was shaping a tougher, more regional catalogue.
