Strange Face Riddim

STRANGE FACE RIDDIM

Strange Face Riddim comes in lean and sharp, not like one of those sprawling juggling tapes from Head Concussion, but more like a quick little slice of early-2010s dancehall built around three cuts and a stripped-back version. Chan Dizzy’s “Strange Face” is the obvious anchor, riding the riddim with the same sly, streetwise energy that helped make him a name around that period, while The Kolumbianz’ “Yu Gyal Love Mi” leans more playful and flirtatious against the beat. The instrumental version is there too, which gives the whole thing a proper selector-friendly feel and lets the drum pattern and bassline do their work. Put out in 2011, it lands right in the run of compact digital riddims that kept dancehall moving fast at the time, with no wasted space and no need for extra polish.
