Riches Riddim (2011) – Icon Music Group

Bugle and Jahmiel’s “Rise Above” is the cleanest way into Riches Riddim, a 2011 Icon Music Group juggling act that also pulls in Calado, Ding Dong, Teflon, Tornado and Voicemail across eight cuts. The rhythm sits in that early-2010s dancehall pocket: lean, propulsive and built for artists to cut sharp, personal lines over the same frame without ever feeling cramped. “Rise Above” has the kind of uplift that gives the whole set its title, while Ding Dong’s “I Make You Mad” pushes a more playful, street-level energy and Voicemail keep things flirtier on “Girl On The Side. ” Icon Music Group handles the production, and the release is credited as a 2011 dancehall riddim set.
