The Set Up Riddim – Various Artists

THE SET UP RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2007

Thumping and sly, The Set Up Riddim cuts with that early-2007 dancehall snap where the drums keep it lean and the bassline does most of the talking. Barkey’s “Caan Come In” and Black Rhino’s “Mad Guitar” lean into the tougher edge, while Charley Blakz and Lexx push the package toward cheeky party talk and flirtation; Tok’s “Whine And Go Down” keeps the dancefloor energy front and center. The set also folds in Qq’s “Screechie” and a Vybz Kartel cut, “Designer Whine, ” which gives the riddim a bigger name in the mix and ties it to the era when sharp one-drop-free dancehall instrumentals were still carrying whole song packages by sheer groove.
