Red Hot Peppa Riddim – Wayne Lexx Uim Records

A brisk, peppery soca groove drives Red Hot Peppa Riddim, with Wayne Lexx and UIM Records lining up a mix of singers and deejays who keep the energy lively without drifting too far from the island pulse. Jah Vinci’s “Mind’s Made Up” brings a smoother edge against the harder-nosed cuts, while Kalado’s “My Comfort” lands twice, in radio and explicit forms, which tells you this one was meant to move in both clean and raw spaces. Twin Of Twins come in swinging on “Bun Again” and the Tuff Krakaz/Bitta Blood link-up “Energy Nuh Right” adds a rowdy finish, the kind of combo that gives the riddim its bite. It all runs tight, 11 tracks in just under half an hour, with the title alone feeling like a late-afternoon heat check.
