Old School Riddim (2021) – Famous Productions

Old School Riddim comes in lean and direct: just two cuts, with Prado’s “Drop It Dong” and the Tally Boy, Leonus, Tipicks trio on “Penetrate” carrying the whole thing. Famous Productions keeps the arrangement tight and buoyant, leaning into a throwback soca feel that’s more about snap and movement than studio gloss. That restraint fits the label’s broader lane, too; after a run of straight-ahead riddims like Grand Street and Have Faith, this one feels like another clean, dancefloor-minded entry in the catalogue rather than a detour. Prado gets the flashier solo slot, but the trio cut adds the extra pull, giving the release just enough variety without losing its easygoing old-school swing.
