Star Mentality Riddim – Staaryzma Records

Star Mentality Riddim from Staaryzma Records keeps things lean and direct, a 2014 dancehall cut with just two voiced tracks and no wasted motion. Astasio’s “Do As Yuh Feel” sets the tone with a defiant, take-your-own-road attitude, while Cubanis follows on “Poor Life, ” giving the riddim its social edge and a more grounded push. With only those two songs on the project, the production has to carry the weight, and that stripped-back setup leaves room for the groove to do the talking rather than crowding it with extra names. It’s a compact little 2014 selector’s piece, the kind of release where the instrumental and the final Cubanis cut end up doing most of the talking.
