Pain Land Riddim – Front Step Records

2016 dancehall got a sharp, gritty push on Pain Land Riddim from Front Step Records, a juggling that brings together Daygo P, Innovata, Jah Platnum, Maxibilion, Payne, Phlammable, Sceptic, and Sivilion. The set leans on hard-edged songs like Genuine Friend, Reach Nuh Weh, Lose Them Way, Greedy, Hard And Dun, Truth, and Daddy Gone, with the instrumental included under the label name as part of the release. Front Step Records kept the riddim focused and compact, and Maxibilion turns up twice on the tracklist, which adds a nice bit of weight to the lineup.
