Qaphela Riddim – Edb Entertainment

There’s a taut, mid-tempo dancehall swing running through Qaphela Riddim, with EDB Entertainment keeping the whole cut lean and percussive at 87 BPM. Exile Di Brave’s “I Hope So” and Amlak Redsquare’s “Warrior Cause” sit nicely against each other, the latter giving the set a tougher, militant edge that suits the instrumental’s clipped bounce, while Kazam Davis’ “Iron On Waste” keeps the pressure on. The medley pulls the three voices together in a way that feels more like a street-side chant than a polished compilation, which is part of the charm here, and the instrumental runs just over three minutes.
