Party Bad Riddim – Love Expression Music

Dj Tenny Bling’s “We Lock Party” is the one that sets the tone here, and it does exactly what you’d hope from a 2014 party cut: bright, chanty, and built for a sound system. Jerry Dan Itez comes in tougher on “Gangsta’z, ” while Martin Trilla’s “Lets Party” keeps the vibe moving without losing the dancehall edge. Sheldon aka Don1 closes it out with “Fi The Girls Dem, ” which adds a more playful, straight-up crowd-pleasing angle to the four-track set. Love Expression Music and Don1 Production were already working this lane around that period, and this one sits neatly beside their other bashment-minded material rather than trying to dress itself up as anything else. It’s a compact little riddim, but the lineup keeps it lively and focused.
