One Dubplate Riddim – Irie Sound And Rg Studio

Irie Sound and RG Studio take a pretty crew-heavy approach on One Dubplate Riddim, leaning into a dubplate-minded dancehall set rather than a straight one-artist showcase. The cut has that shouty sound-system energy, with Galaxy P opening things up and names like Naaman, Jah Tool and Bounty Killer giving the project some weight; Naaman’s “Skanking Sound” and Jah Tool’s “Pas Hesiter” feel especially tied to the dubplate concept, while the Bounty Killer bonus medley adds a sharper veteran touch at the end. There’s a distinctly European flavour in the title choices and the French-language track names, but the whole thing still sits firmly in dancehall mode. Released in 2013, it lands in that era when sound crews were still pushing custom specials hard, and this one was clearly made for the pull-up rather than the playlist.
