Street Bullies Riddim – Various Artists

STREET BULLIES RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2010

Kalash is the name that jumps out first on Street Bullies Riddim, and his “Mascarade” appears twice here, once in the original cut and again in a Dj Gil remix, which tells you this rhythm had enough bite to invite a second swing. The rest of the lineup keeps the energy leaning streetwise and rugged: C Rim comes in with “Ghost Rider, ” Lord Kossity cools things down a little on “Like Me, ” and T Jy pushes the pace on “Pli Vit Ki Bal, ” while X Man and the Elvys/T Jy pairing add more pressure to the set. The whole thing sits in that early-2010s French Caribbean dancehall lane, with a harder, club-ready edge and enough bounce in the drums to keep the chants and one-liners moving. It’s a compact 8-track run, built for selectors who liked their riddims sharp and loud.
