Molasses Riddim – Pure Music

Pure Music packed Molasses with a proper early-2000s dancehall juggling: 12 cuts, a heavy cast, and enough attitude to keep the energy moving without ever feeling overcrowded. Anthony B’s “Gun A Di Problem” and Sizzla’s “Nuh Business A Who Dem” bring the most fire, while Spragga Benz’s “One Dugu Man” and Vegas, Mega Banton and Bun Pan on “What Its All About” give the riddim some rough-edged variety. The standout detail here is the spread of voices — from Delly Ranks and Singing Melody’s “Can’t Leave The Ladies Alone” to Lukie D and Tony Curtis on “Gal We Treasure, ” it’s the kind of 2002 release that leans on pairing different styles over the same bounce. Released in a year when dancehall riddims were moving fast and competing hard, Molasses fits right into that busy moment.
