Paparazzi Riddim – Various Artists

PAPARAZZI RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2012

Paparazzi Riddim sits in the 2012 wave of compact dancehall jugglings that lean hard on the rhythm itself, and this one keeps the focus on a tough, spare groove rather than flashy studio tricks. The lineup moves from Flexxx’s “Modeller” through Singing Sweet’s “Whining” and the Beres Brown and Kool Shade cut “Paparazzi, ” with each voice riding the same sharp-edged pulse in a different way. Sampaloo and Boom Steppa keep the energy up, while Kibaki’s “Find You” closes the set with a cooler, more melodic turn that leaves the instrumental’s basic architecture exposed. It’s the kind of riddim that lives on repetition and attitude, and the final track makes that plain.
