Skin out Riddim (2012) – Black Identity Records

Black Identity Records keeps the focus tight on Skin Out Riddim, a 2012 dancehall juggling that lands in just four cuts but still leaves room for a few different voices. Kingsound Pro and Loud H open things with “Kabhebhi Kangu, ” while Ras Lalo’s “Lalo In London” and Badman’s “Mbiri Nepot” push the project further into that rough, regional dancehall pocket rather than the glossy mainstream sound. Fany Gee closes with “She Me One To The End, ” and that last tune feels like the sharpest hit here, carrying the most bite and personality. It’s a compact set, but the order gives it shape, with each artist stepping onto the same rhythm from a slightly different angle.
