Soviet Riddim – Burnout Records

SOVIET RIDDIM produced by BURNOUT RECORDS 2018

By late 2018, dancehall was deep in its digital, weed-tinted groove, and Burn Out Records tapped right into that mood with Soviet Riddim, a six-cut juggling that pairs the veteran pull of Beenie Man with a run of newer voices. “New Gal” gives Beenie Man the kind of sly, confident ride he’s always handled well, while “Marijuana” and “Feel High” lean hard into the smoke-friendly theme without losing the bounce. Spliffy’s “Winner” and Cee Gee’s “Da Spliff Yah” keep the energy moving with a more playful, street-level feel, and J Rile’s “Fakers” closes things out with a sharper edge. Clocking in at just about 20 minutes and released in December 2018, it’s a compact snapshot of that era’s dancehall obsession with blunt talk, catchy hooks, and bare riddim pressure.
