Settings Riddim (2017) – Rockas Ent Ltd

Settings Riddim rolls in with a bright, rubbery dancehall swing, the kind of cut that keeps the drums tight while the bassline nudges the whole thing forward with a sly bounce. Rockas Ent Ltd keeps the cast lean: Carey Dujon comes in hard on “Mek Yuh Bad, ” Kylo loosens things up on “Move Me, ” and Ricardo Rawal’s “Do To Me” pushes the flirtatious side of the rhythm without losing its edge. Marl-E’s “Tic A Likkle” and Shanti Force’s “Come Over” add more tension, while the producer’s own version gives the riddim space to breathe on its own terms. Released in 2017, it sits neatly in that mid-2010s dancehall run where stripped-back one-riddim projects were doing the heavy lifting for selectors and sound systems alike.
