Mannaz Riddim – Yaad Boiiz Records

Yaad Boiiz Records line up Mannaz Riddim as a compact 2019 dancehall set, and the thing that jumps out is the mix of street-tough titles and the clean/raw treatment on Raytid’s “Money Power, ” which gives the package a little extra bite. The roster is spread across nine artists, with cuts from Adonvi, Dipherence, Insgnii, Nine Yaad and Ras Biggs sitting alongside that double take from Raytid, so it plays more like a focused crew project than a loose compilation. The riddim is tagged simply as dancehall, but the song names point toward a gritty, hustle-minded vibe rather than anything glossy. Mannaz Riddim contains 10 tracks in total and lists 9 unique artists.
