Road Runner Riddim – Ice Water Records

ROAD RUNNER RIDDIM produced by ICE WATER RECORDS 2011

Ice Water Records kept Road Runner Riddim lean and to the point in 2011, letting just three cuts carry the whole thing: Charmson Di Mayor’s rude-boy opener “Get Inna Di Belly, ” the Bad Rad and Icesis Bling-assisted “Magnum, ” and Icesis Bling’s own “Swagger Gone A Lead” with P. Dubbz Kiddevil. It’s a compact dancehall package rather than a big multi-artist statement, which suits the way Ice Water tends to move here — fewer voices, more room for each tune to land. Charmson Di Mayor gets the most real estate, and that gives the riddim a clear anchor, while the collaborations keep it from feeling like a throwaway. In the label’s catalogue, this sits as one of those stripped-down 2011 dancehall releases that favoured a quick, direct street-level energy over volume.
