Off Key Riddim – 3in1 Records

Off-key pulse. 3in1 Records laces this 2015 dancehall set with a slightly crooked, rattling swing that gives the whole thing a restless edge, and Ward 21’s “Gal Pickney” is the cut that jumps out first with its sharp, clipped ride over the rhythm. David Luther King’s “Give It To Them” and Nature’s “Your Love” sit nicely in that same pocket, while Senator and Supa Sass keep the energy snappy without crowding the mix. The Three In One crew even tuck in their own “Off Key Riddim” version and “Too Nasty, ” which adds a little producer-side personality to the package, a neat touch on a seven-track lineup that feels lean and ready for the dance.
