Pharaoh Riddim (2016) – Bashment Sound Sa

Pharaoh Riddim lands in that sharp, mid-2010s dancehall pocket where the production feels lean but the hooks do the heavy lifting, and Bashment Sound SA keep it moving with a roster that mixes veterans and hungry voices. Bay-C’s “Action, ” Nc Dread and Wyre’s “Godfidence, ” and Black Dillinger’s “345” give it some of the strongest pull, while tracks like “Kingston City” and “Wickedest Whine” lean into the tougher, more street-facing side of the rhythm. Flexx turns up three times with “No Soft Spot, ” including the extended cut, which hints that this one was built to live in the dance as much as on the playlist. The set closes with “Dance We Dance, ” and that final tune leaves the riddim in full party mode, all bounce, grit, and quick-strike one-drop-to-dancehall energy.
