Star Life Riddim (2018) – Pryce Wayne Musiq

Pryce Wayne Musiq’s Star Life Riddim sits in that motivational dancehall pocket where the artists come in talking hunger, pressure, and forward motion, with Jovexx on “Go Hard, ” O. D. on “Senseless Circle (Stop The Crime), ” and Pretty Chiina’s “Success” giving the set a sharp closing note. The production keeps the energy brisk and streetwise, and even when the cuts move from the tougher edge of Kidd Darkness’ “Haunted” to the more reflective turn on Glowrious’ “Real, ” the riddim holds a steady pull without sounding overworked. It’s a compact 2018 juggling with eight vocal tracks plus the instrumental, and Pryce Wayne leaves his own stamp on it at the end with the “Star Life Riddim Instrumental. ”
