Rippa Riddim – Jah Wayne Records And Lazeme Music

2014 was a busy year for dancehall riddims that leaned on tough, compact patterns rather than heavy ornament, and Rippa Riddim fits that frame neatly. Jah Wayne Records and Lazeme Music keep the focus on a trim five-track lineup, with Charly Black’s “Defend Mi Fren” and Teflon’s “Bad Gal” doing the heaviest lifting, while Jah Wayne’s own “Love Gal” and Ryme Minista’s “Si Dung” add different vocal angles to the same cut. The version on the riddim runs just under three minutes, which suits the arrangement: clipped drums, a firm bass line, and enough space for the singers to work the hook without crowding the rhythm. At that length, the whole thing moves like a quick sound-system tool, tight and direct.
