Prance Riddim – Music Wagon Studio Productions

Back in 2016, dancehall was leaning hard into slimmer, more digital juggling rhythms, and Prance Riddim fits right into that moment with a compact eight-track set from Music Wagon Studio Productions. General Genius comes in sharp on “Lighter Thief, ” while Anthony Y Not’s “Turn Money Sweet” and Taka Taylor’s “Crop Of The Cream” give the riddim its catchiest hooks, each riding the bounce with a different kind of swagger. The rest of the lineup keeps the energy moving without overcomplicating things, and the inclusion of an in-house cut, “Prance Riddim” from Music Wagon Studio, gives the project that producer-led stamp you’d expect from a small but active 2016 dancehall release. It’s a short, lively snapshot of the era, made for quick rotation rather than big statements.
