The Rock And Stop Riddim has that tight, hard-stepping 2012 dancehall feel, all skittering percussion, lean bass, and enough space for the artists to chop their lines cleanly across the groove. Big Bout Ya Records keeps the set compact at eight cuts, and the draw here is the mix of veteran voices and rough-edged energy: Junior Demus comes in with the chatty warning of “Talk Too Much, ” Junior Cat rides the rhythm on “Ready fi di Whole a Dem, ” and Pinchers adds a sly, older-school sting with “Yellow Belly Vaquero. ” Little Demus turns up twice, once alongside Vixen Diva on “No Lie Man” and again on “We A di Actor, ” while Ricky Chaplin’s title tune sits right in the pocket. Released on May 26, 2012, it feels very much like a snapshot of that era’s straight-ahead, sound-system-ready dancehall.
