Nite Life Riddim – Troyton Music

Demarco’s “Nuh Di Worst Inna Life” gives Nite Life Riddim its sharpest pull, and Troyton Music backs it with a 2012 dancehall cut that keeps the energy tense and street-ready. The set moves cleanly from Demarco’s radio and raw versions into Beenie Man’s “You Hold You Man, ” then through Konshens’ “We Dem Want” in both edits, so you get a proper showcase of the rhythm’s range without the whole thing ever feeling overcrowded. Lutan Fyah’s “Cant Bully Me Down” brings a harder roots-leaning edge, while Mavado’s “Me Nuh Scared” lands with the kind of militant confidence that suits the riddim well. Bencil and Ishawna, Wayne Wonder, Chase Cross, and Seanizzle and Cubanis all fill out the tracklist. The release was issued on May 8, 2012 and runs 15 tracks in 42 minutes.
