Mob City Riddim – Livewyah Records

Mob City Riddim lands in that lean 2021 Livewyah Records run with eight cuts and an instrumental that keeps the whole set moving at a tight dancehall clip. Alex Mobsta’s “Vile, ” Penny Don’s “The Green, ” and Shabako’s “Bad Chops” sit among the sharper voices here, but the real pull is the riddim itself: a short, no-frills pattern with a clipped drum pocket and a deep rolling bass line that leaves plenty of room for the deejays to work. The songs all run close together in length, which gives the compilation a quick, street-level feel rather than a big showcase vibe, and the production stays locked into that steady, percussive swing all the way through.
