Smart Slymes Riddim – Smart Slymes Records

Smart Slymes Records kept this one tight in 2021, cutting a three-song dancehall set that moves like a quick, self-contained sound system drop rather than a bloated compilation. With Tenae on “Star, ” Indecka on “Rapido, ” and Dane-Jah closing with “Murda Dem, ” the focus stays on punchy vocals over a lean rhythm bed, and that economy suits the project well. It’s the kind of riddim that leaves room for each artist to sell their own angle without crowding the mix, with Indecka’s “Rapido” sounding like the sharpest hook of the bunch. The final run into Dane-Jah’s “Murda Dem” keeps the energy hard and direct, and the instrumental’s short length gives the whole thing a fast, street-level feel.
