Rags 2 Riches Riddim – Randy Rich Productions

Rags 2 Riches rides a brisk, mid-tempo dancehall groove with a clean, digital snap and a little streetwise edge, the kind of 2011 riddim that keeps the percussion tight and the hook space open. Randy Rich lines up a smart mix of voices here: Bugle sounds sharp on “Mine Weh You a Do, ” Ding Dong brings the party energy on “Every Gyal Wah Me, ” and Jahmiel’s “One Of These Days” gives the set a more reflective tone. Blak Diamon and Total, Laden, Massicka, Uncle Mucks, and Versatile fill out the project without crowding it, and Randy Rich even cuts the instrumental himself. Clocking in at eight tracks and just over 22 minutes, it sits right in that era when dancehall was favoring compact, melody-driven juggling sets with enough bounce for radio and the dance at once.
