Sauce God Riddim – Soul God Music

Soul God Music’s 2019 Sauce God Riddim sits in that hard-edged dancehall pocket the label was pushing at the time, with just five cuts and no wasted motion. Kishomar’s “Sauciest Girl” has the hookiest name in the bunch, while Hopabus turns in “Money House” and Tremma Don comes in with “Dead Fren, ” both riding a stripped-back, bass-heavy rhythm that leaves plenty of room for the deejays to lean into the street-talk and swagger. Macleban’s “Mark X” and Travalaunch’s “Topshelf Badness” keep the energy clipped and direct, giving the riddim a compact, tense feel rather than a big carnival spread. The full set runs five tracks, all produced by Soul God Music and grouped under the Sauce God banner.
