Substance Abuse Riddim – Studio Vibes Entertainment

Studio Vibes Entertainment takes a pretty radio-friendly turn on Substance Abuse Riddim, pairing the usual hard dancehall pulse with a set of titles that lean straight into warning-shot lyrics and streetwise double talk. Released on July 29, 2016, the project runs 16 tracks deep and pulls in a tidy mix of heavy names and younger voices, with Vybz Kartel and Sheba opening things up on “Don’t Tek It Out, ” Demarco following with “Nuh Response, ” and Konshens and Jahvillani keeping the momentum up later in the sequence. Mr. Vegas turns in one of the sharper cuts with “Nah Run, ” while Shane O and Lady Ali help keep the riddim from settling into one mood for too long. The sequencing is telling too: the producer places the raw and clean versions of the key songs right beside each other, then stretches the project with single appearances from the rest of the lineup, like a careful DJ-ready package rather than a loose compilation.
