Street Crime Riddim – Dutty Coolie / Fagan Fraternity

The Street Crime Riddim comes in with a hard, blunt dancehall cut that feels built for sound system pressure, with the title track sitting alongside sharp turns from Frisco Kid, Mavado, and Cutty Ranks. It’s a lean seven-song set, so the sequencing doesn’t waste time: each voicing lands quickly, and the riddim gets repeated in enough places to let the groove sink in without overworking it. Mavado’s “It Aint Easy Being Me” brings the emotional weight, while Cutty Ranks’ “Pervert” adds that veteran edge. Dutty Coolie and Fagan Fraternity handled the production, and the project was issued in 2008 with seven artists on seven tracks.
