Spook Riddim – Black Shadow Records

Black Shadow leans into a dark, rubbery dancehall pulse here, the kind of stripped, late-night riddim that leaves room for the DJs to swagger across it. Spook Riddim arrived in 2013 with Beenie Man, Mr. Vegas, Sizzla, Timberlee and Bawse Dawg all taking turns on the cut, and the strongest moments come from the easy confidence of Beenie Man’s “Gimmie Some Money” and Sizzla’s “Set The Trend. ” The clean-and-raw pairings for Bawse Dawg and Timberlee give it that club-ready 7-inch feel, while Troy Remi ft. The Lyricx keeps the energy riding with “Work It Out. ” Black Shadow had already made its name with big, crossover-minded dancehall production, and this one sits neatly in that lane: not as glossy as the label’s biggest hits, but very much part of the same sharp-edged catalogue.
