Money Bus Riddim – Various Artists

Kerri Kerri opens the Money Bus Riddim with a cheeky, direct cut in “I Want You, ” and that feels like the right entry point for a five-song dancehall set that keeps its focus tight. King Zobbie’s “Reputation” and Punchline’s “Gal Mistakes” keep the energy rooted in straight dancehall chatter, while Sully leans a touch more devotional on “Jah Watch Over Mi, ” giving the riddim a brief pull toward the spiritual side before Wayne Spice closes things out with “Bad Mi Up. ” With only five voices on the juggling, there’s no overcrowding here, just a clean run of personalities over one 2011 production. But it’s Spice who leaves the sharpest mark, turning the final slot into the track that lingers after the riddim cuts off.
