Riddim Fi Life 2022 – Fireplace Music

Fireplace Music’s 2022 Riddim Fi Life brings nine dancehall cuts from eight artists, with Banxx, Hot Frass, Kaliba, Noah Powa, Pink Boss and Tanto Blacks among the voices riding the rhythm. Kaliba appears twice with Fuck Fi Life and Touch Fi Life, while other highlights include Hotfrass’s Head Top Hot and Noah Powa’s Cyaan Style We. It plays like a compact showcase of current dancehall attitudes, moving from sharp-tongued slackness to more direct life-and-struggle themes, and the title itself frames the set around the “fi life” idea that runs through several of the songs.
