Platinum Riddim – Pot Of Gold

Pot Of Gold usually leans into sharp, vocal-heavy dancehall, and Platinum Riddim fits that mould while keeping the energy tight and melodic. 2002 was a busy year for the label, and this one lines up Wayne Wonder, Elephant Man, General Degree, Professor Nuts and Richie Stephens over a sequence that moves from smooth singing to tougher deejay cuts without losing momentum. Wayne Wonder’s “I Believe” opens with a softer, more uplifted tone, then Elephant Man’s “Energy God” and General Degree’s “Teck The Lead” push the pulse forward. Richie Stephens also appears twice, including the Shabba Ranks pairing “Show Me What You Got, ” which adds a bit of veteran weight to the set. The tracklist is arranged like a proper showcase, with the version parked at the end after the vocal runs, giving the producer room to let the riddim speak for itself.
