Mad Cobra feels like the anchor on The Buff Riddim, his “Yu Buff” cutting through a set that leans hard into early-2010s dancehall’s rough-edged, mid-tempo bounce. Godbless Records lines up a tidy nine-track package here, with Harry Toddler, Hawkeye, Galaxy P, Simpleton and Deanie Ranks all working the same lean groove from different angles: some tracks go for cheeky slackness, others for straight-up party talk, but the riddim keeps everything taut and percussive. “Hey Roy” and “Mickle Mek Muckle” add extra color, while Deanie Ranks’ pair gives the release a bit more range. Released in February 2014, it sits right in that period when classic-style juggling was still keeping dancehall’s veteran voices moving alongside newer digital-era production.
