Sim Card Riddim – Black Mangena

With 11 cuts and a cast that runs from Da’Ville and Lukie D to Vybz Kartel, Wayne Marshall, Elephant Man and Bounty Killer, Sim Card Riddim lands as a busy 2008 dancehall juggling act rather than a one-note showcase. Black Mangena keeps the rhythm taut and digital, with that sharp early-2000s phone-era bounce tucked under the vocalists, and the set gets one of its flashiest moments from Kartel and Wayne Marshall on “Baby Lets Go, ” while Bounty Killer’s “Mek A Statement” and Kiprich’s “Phone Light Fi Flash” keep the energy pointed straight at the dance. The lineup also spreads nicely between singjay polish and rougher frontline talk, with tracks like “No Tek No Talk” and “Arms Of A Stranger” giving the riddim a little more range.
