Star Bwoy Riddim – Various Artists

STAR BWOY RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2011

Chimney Records had this one in hand, and you can hear the polish in the way Star Bwoy Riddim keeps the energy tight around a sly, bounce-heavy dancehall groove while leaving room for the vocals to jab through. Mavado’s “Star Bwoy” was the tune that pulled the most attention from the set, but the compilation also gives Gallis’ “Party, ” Redd Man Uk’s “Star Whine, ” and Stein’s “Top Killa” enough space to make the juggling feel lively rather than overcrowded. It arrived in late 2010 and circulated as a 2011 dancehall riddim package, one of those releases that sat right between street-ready anthem and selector-friendly tool. Three cuts, one rhythm, and a clear focus on keeping the dance moving.
