Mcb Riddim – Inspired Music

MCB Riddim from Inspired Music sits in that early-2010s dancehall pocket where the rhythm does the heavy lifting and the voicings keep it moving, with Tommy Lee Sparta’s “Live For Eva” leading a compact six-track set that never wastes time. Released in 2012, it pairs the harder edge of Jesse James’ “Ting A Shot” and Richie West’s “Head Hot” with a softer turn from Tishanti on “Till The End, ” so the mood shifts just enough to keep the riddim from feeling one-note. Richie West even gets both a raw and clean cut, which tells you the producer wanted the same hook to work in different spaces. The sequencing closes with Shamrock’s “As A Team, ” leaving the project on a collective note after the sharper opening run.
