Mobay Purge Riddim – Pinkz / Stinkamoney Music

Mid-2018’s Mobay Purge Riddim comes with that stripped, hard-edged dancehall energy you’d expect from a project trying to shake the place up, and Pinkz / Stinkamoney Music keep the focus on sharp, no-frills cuts rather than overworked flash. Jahmiel’s Prayer gives the set one of its cleaner hooks, while Nature’s Guns N Ammunition and Brisco’s The World We Inna push the heavier side of the riddim alongside Dr Truble’s Hustle and Rickey Teetz’s Fall Off. The lineup runs ten tracks deep, with the kind of street-level titles that match the tone, from Gaza Kush’s Nuh Ratings to King Pin’s System and I-Jahmiel’s Can’t Hold Me Down. It’s a compact various-artists set with ten songs and ten different voices riding the same 2018 dancehall frame.
