Raving Riddim (2021) – Dc Hardway Records

Dc Hardway Records’ Raving Riddim lands as a compact 2021 dancehall set with four voiced cuts and no wasted space, the kind of little-stakes, local-session release that leans on feel rather than hype. 5 Star’s “Money Mek Pussy Wet” and Dizee Carta’s “Whipped” set the tone early, while Y Kriss’ “Up Inna Di Club” and Screnker Fire’s “Gal Want Roll” keep the focus on straight-to-the-point party lyrics. There’s no sprawling lineup here, just a tight run of voices riding a beat that sounds clipped and economical, with the drum pattern doing most of the work and the bass staying lean underneath. It moves at a brisk dancehall pace, letting the vocals sit right on top of the riddim rather than burying them in extra arrangement.
