Operation Riddim – World Team Productions

Sliding in with a stern, militaristic title but a loose enough dancehall pulse to keep the party moving, Operation Riddim gathers a sharp little mid-2010s lineup around World Team Productions’ cut in 2013. Intence’s “Sorry Fyah” and I Waata’s “Social Media” give the set some of its brightest edges, while Don Pree’s “Whine And Kotch” and RDX’s “No Problem” lean harder into the road-ready, waistline-first energy that keeps these juggling riddims alive. The production sits in that rough-edged, bass-heavy lane built for sound system play, with enough space for each voice to punch through without losing the pressure underneath. Dee Dre, Dertee, Pamputae, Prado and the rest keep the chant moving across a tracklist that runs from “Operation” to “Operate Me, ” with 11 cuts in all.
