Right Turn Riddim – Range Hill Records

Right turn, rough edge: Range Hill Records keeps this 2016 dancehall cut tight and lean, with just four voicings circling the same sharp, stripped-down riddim. Vershon’s “Up Inna Life” feels like the anchor here, pitched against Allico Proda’s grittier “Ruff Up This” and Tina Nunezz’s cheeky “Take Away Your Man, ” while Mr Wright slides in with “Talk Dirty” to keep the mood on the sly side. It’s the kind of small-footprint juggling that leaves room for each artist to lean into attitude rather than crowd the beat, and that gives the whole set a quick, street-level snap; Vershon is the easy standout, though.
