Strate Jeans Riddim – Various Artists

Strate Jeans Riddim leans into the cheeky side of 2010 dancehall, with Exco Levi’s “If You Ting You Bad” and Sample King’s “Full Up A Style” carrying the kind of sly street talk that gives these juggling projects their character. The set runs with a clean sequence of vocal cuts, edit versions, and a closing “Version, ” so you get both the songs and the bare riddim in one pass, plus doubles like Faze’s “Brase” and Fire Lion’s “Bazzle” in edit and full forms. J Logix, Eyesus, and Star And Fire Kid Steenie keep the energy up across the middle of the lineup, while Triniti Chris and Us Squad add two more late cuts to the 14-track package. The riddim came out in 2010.
