Slap Weh Riddim – DJ Kitt / 007 Records

SLAP WEH RIDDIM produced by DJ KITT / 007 RECORDS 2012

2012 was deep in that post-peak digital dancehall moment, when producers were still chasing sharp one-drop hooks and quick-fire party chatter, and DJ Kitt’s Slap Weh Riddim fits right into that energy with a lean, hard-edged cut that leaves room for the artists to talk bad. Gyptian’s Any Gyal Mi Want gives the set a smoother, more melodic anchor, while Konshens’ Slap Weh and Laden’s Go Ahead push the tougher side of the rhythm, and K-Queens’ Bring It Up adds a bright female counterpoint to the males-heavy lineup. The production keeps the pulse tight and minimal, with enough bass weight to make the hook hit and enough space for the vocal styles to separate themselves, from Munga and Prince Stone’s hustler talk on Hustle Real Hard to Stein’s sharper street chant on Talk By Shooting. The release runs 13 tracks, with Ice Cold closing things out on Gyallis Fi Dem.
