River Bed Riddim – Various Artists

RIVER BED RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2012

River Bed Riddim keeps the focus tight with just five cuts, and that compact lineup makes the Mad Cobra and Beenie Man combination on “How U Suh Bad” jump out right away. The rest of the set lines up Brimstone’s “Partys On, ” Hawkeye’s “Real Thug, ” Anthony B’s “Chase, ” and Lynx Unruly’s “My Gyal, ” all riding a 2012 dancehall rhythm that’s more about pressure and movement than polish. There’s a rough, street-level feel to the whole thing, the kind of riddim that leaves space for each voice to cut through without overcrowding the mix. The release runs with those five tracks: Brimstone, Hawkeye, Anthony B, Lynx Unruly, and the Mad Cobra/Beenie Man pairing.
