Shamballa Riddim – Great Whyte Ent

Seven cuts deep, Shamballa Riddim comes in as a compact 2012 dancehall set with a sharp little roster: Chronixx opens with “Ex, ” T. O. K bring the sweeter edge on “Diamond Girl, ” and Elephant Man keeps the title tune moving with that familiar energetic bounce. Great Whyte Ent keep the rhythm lean and direct, giving space for the hooks to land, while Chino’s “Big Man Thing” and Navino’s “Mi Love Unu” help round out a lineup that leans on variety without losing the same pulse. It’s the kind of one-riddim package that catches the moment nicely, with veteran name power sitting alongside younger voices. The full tracklist runs Chronixx, T. O. K, Elephant Man, Twin Of Twins, Chino, Stein and Navino, all on the same 7-track set.
