Back in 2013, when dancehall was packed with grimy, internet-fuelled clash records and terse singjay cuts, Tear Road Riddim came through Bassick Records with a lean five-track run and a sharp, confrontational edge. The best-known cut is Jabalance’s “Tom And Jerry (Tommy Lee Diss), ” which sets the tone with straight talk and battlefield energy, while Runkus and Amity keep “We A Tear Road” moving with a more melodic pull and Teflon’s “Tear Road” leans into the same raw swagger. Wada Blood closes the set with “Money Haffi Mek” in both raw and radio forms, a neat move that underlines how the riddim’s tension could be handled for street corners and airplay without losing its bite.
