Queen Riddim – Skelly Dan Records

Skelly Dan Records takes a sharper, more stripped-back route on Queen Riddim, leaning into a compact five-cut dancehall set rather than the bigger, star-packed compilations the label has been turning out in recent years. The 2021 release keeps the focus tight, with Wxrship Curtis opening on “Ochi, ” Tessa Dinnall bringing a smoother edge on “My Type, ” and Demetri’s “Grinding” giving the riddim its bluntest pull. Jaytrillan’s “High Intercourse” pushes the mood a little further, while Yo Peaz closes the sequence by naming the riddim itself, which feels like a deliberate way of circling the whole project back to its core. The sequencing suggests Skelly Dan wanted each voice to land cleanly, with no overcrowding and no wasted space.
