Six Speed Riddim – Various Artists

SIX SPEED RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2004

Six Speed Riddim hits with that mid-2000s dancehall snap: lean, fast-moving, and built for sound system pressure rather than polish. The set is compact, with six cuts from five artists, so every tune has room to breathe, and that economy suits the style. Jungle’s “Call My Phone” and Kekere’s “Music Man” set the tone early, while Kmc comes through twice, first on “Mad Sick” and again on “Rag Master, ” giving the project its hardest-edged moments. Maximus Dan’s “Lift Jah Lighter” adds a more militant lift, and Sister C closes it out on “Nice And Slow, ” which cools the pace just enough to leave the riddim hanging in the air after the final note.
