Sexy Bitch Riddim – Priceless Records

Priceless Records takes a left turn here, leaning away from the straight-up bashment edge the name might suggest and into a brighter, soca-leaning party cut that keeps one foot in dancehall attitude. Released in 2011, Sexy Bitch Riddim gathers a fairly wide circle of voices, but Elephant Man’s “Ova Di Wall (Remix)” is the flashpoint, with Erup doubling up on “Fi Di Gal Dem” and “Pop The Bottle” to push the playful, uptempo vibe harder. The lineup also stretches across languages and styles with names like Jacky Mams and Natty Lord Faya, Sir Samuel and Elimane, and Risbo, which hints at a crossover-minded project rather than a local club tool. The sequence runs from sexy-themed vocals into remixes and then the bare riddim cut itself, a smart bit of ordering that keeps the energy moving and makes the producer’s intent plain.
