Peppa Grain Riddim – Various Artists

PEPPA GRAIN RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2007

Peppa Grain Riddim sits in that mid-2000s dancehall pocket where the rhythm is all skittery momentum and rude-boy swagger, with Elephant Man, Vybz Kartel and Wayne Marshall among the names giving it its bite. The 2007 project keeps the energy moving through eight cuts, and the sequencing leans from straight dancefloor commands into the more explicit Kartel tune before Wayne Marshall closes things out with Futur Fambo on “Push It Up Inna Di Air. ” It’s a tidy little cast for a one-riddim set: Esco, Kid Kurup, Mr. Easy and Kari Jess fill out the middle, while the flow suggests the producer wanted the louder voices up front and the party finish at the end.
