Rongo Rongo Riddim – Chronic Ting Records

Seven cuts keep this one tight, with Daddy Freddy and Daddy Banton kicking things off on “Question” and Lasai doubling back later for “Bad From Mi Born, ” so the riddim gets a proper workout across different voices and styles. Chronic Ting Records laces it with a gritty, no-frills dancehall pulse that leaves room for the singjay and deejay combinations to do the heavy lifting, while Rango’s “Love and Pain” and Bman and Dakaneh’s “Police Dem A Come” lean into the tougher edge of the project; even the Spanish-language turns from Lashe and Bon Korleony give the set a wider Caribbean reach without breaking the mood. Released in January 2014, the Rongo Rongo Riddim runs eight tracks over about 23 minutes, with chronic sound shaping the whole thing as a compact one-riddim package.
