One In A Million Riddim – Various Artists

“Car Ride” from Calcium is the quick way into One In A Million Riddim, and it sets up a cut that keeps one foot in hard-edged dancehall and the other in lighter party chatter. Ranger Rhymz comes in sharp on “Dem Try Diss, ” while Lyncs gets two turns, moving from the flirtier “Wine To Mi Song” to the cooler “Nuh Get Wi Upset, ” which gives the project a little more range than a straight one-pace juggling. Masta Jay, Da Chef, and the I Daddy Lando/Mello G link-up keep the energy on the street side, with “Going To Party” pushing the mood toward a more social, dancefloor-ready moment. If there’s a tune that leaves the strongest mark, it’s Calcium’s “Car Ride, ” because it locks onto the riddim early and makes the whole set feel tighter around it.
