Party Shot Riddim (2018) – Tp Records

2018 was still deep in the era of clean-versus-raw dancehall singles, and TP Records rode that lane with Party Shot Riddim, a compact juggling built for the dance. The rhythm leans on a brisk, skanking pulse with enough room for hooks to cut through, which suits Beenie Man’s “Over Again, ” Jah Vinci’s smoother “Smile Again, ” and Iyara’s sharper “Fava” especially well. GoodyPlum and Twinkle Brain each get the clean/raw treatment, giving the project a little extra swing and showing how the same beat can shift character depending on the vocal. Versi closes it out from both angles too, with “Money We Want” and “Party Shot” leading into the instrumental, which keeps the whole thing tight and DJ-friendly at just over half an hour.
