Summer Love Riddim (2013) – Wass Muffin Academy

Summer Love Riddim from Wass Muffin Academy has that bright, breezy 2013 dancehall feel, the kind of one-riddim set that leans more toward party energy than hard-edged bashment, with Cali P’s “The One For Me” giving the project its clearest anchor. The lineup is spread across 14 tracks and 15 artists, so the interest here is in the rotation as much as any single tune, with Blackout Ja, Empress Ayeola, Sista Mussili and Wayne Lyrics each adding a different shade to the same summer-ready backdrop. Wass Muffin Academy keeps the production lean and tuneful, leaving room for the vocalists to ride the groove without crowding it, and the tracklist also runs through Crocadile, Flawless, Flexible and Jah Mirikle before closing out with Wayne Lyrics’ “Beautiful Lady. ”
