No Manners Riddim – Braffers Records

Byron Messia’s “Life” gives the No Manners Riddim an early jolt, and it’s the kind of cut that sets the tone for the whole Braffers Records set: sharp, fast-moving dancehall with plenty of room for different voices to cut through. Around that centerpiece, DJ Peppa’s “No Manners (Mix)” and Lybran’s “Program” keep the energy pointed and direct, while names like Don Ric’s, G Smart and Island Boii help turn the project into a busy posse-style showcase rather than a one-note juggling. The sequencing moves cleanly through 20 tracks, with a mix of solo cuts and a couple of pairings, and the full release runs 1 hour and 9 minutes. It was issued on September 3, 2021.
