Takeover Riddim – Corey Todd Records

A sharp slice of 2011 dancehall, Takeover Riddim lands in that heavy, street-ready pocket where big hooks and tough talk do the talking. Corey Todd Records had just linked up with Notnice that year, and you can hear the kind of hard-edged Kingston energy that partnership was aiming for. Aidonia opens hard with “Miss Yuh Fuck” and “Miss Yuh Touch, ” while Beenie Man’s “Young Bud” and Khago’s “Trouble” keep the pressure on, with Spice, Jah Vinci and Lisa Hyper adding a little more range to the lineup. Dosa Medicine even gets two passes at “Nuh Fear, ” clean and raw, which tells you the producer wanted the riddim to circulate in different spaces without losing its bite. The sequence keeps stacking one caller after another, like a selector moving the crowd from the first pull-up to the last drop.
