Passionate Riddim – 3r40

The hook here is the sheer shape of it: 3R40’s Passionate Riddim runs 12 tracks deep with 10 different voices, and the strongest cuts like Jakal’s “Smile” and Potential Kidd’s pair of “Visa” tunes lean into a tight, mid-tempo dancehall swing that keeps the whole thing moving without getting rushed. Cutty Corn, Specialist, and Stokley add their own angle to the riddim’s romance-and-streetwise split, while the raw version of “Smile” gives Jakal extra room to push the idea in a rougher direction. Released in 2018, the project comes through as a compact showcase for 3R40’s production hand, with each artist getting enough space to leave a mark. The tracklist closes with Teeze’s “Road Ain’t Easy. ”
