Only Pride Riddim – First Page|Loyal Linkz

2015 was a sharp year for compact dancehall juggling, and Only Pride Riddim sits right in that pocket with a lean, no-frills set of voices over First Page and Loyal Linkz’s production. The theme here is distrust and streetwise caution, which suits Dvercity’s “Same Ole Ting, ” Prince Talib’s “Jah Jah Works, ” and Robbie Rule’s “Nuh Matter Weh Yuh Come From” particularly well, while Grampa Entatain’s “Pon Di Street Again” gets two passes, raw and radio, giving the riddim a little extra weight. The project runs to nine tracks from eight artists, and the sequencing feels deliberate: the first half leans hard into the tougher cuts before the radio version closes things out, like the producers wanted the harsher edge heard first and polished last.
