Star Track Riddim – Various Artists

All sharp-edged bashment pressure and quick-fire chatter, this one keeps the energy up with a stark 2007 dancehall riddim that leaves plenty of space for the voices to cut through. Anthony B, Bounty Killer and I-Octane each hit it from a different angle, with “Nah Nah Nah, ” “Rubbish To The Dust Pan” and “Caan Get We Down” pushing the tune in tough, defiant directions, while Lady Saw’s “How You Suh Good” brings a flirtier edge into the mix. The set also folds in Munga and Jah Malo, Roach and Wissy, and the “Star Track” version at the end lets the rhythm breathe on its own after the vocal parade.
