This Is Boom Riddim – Mike One Productions

Five cuts keep This Is Boom Riddim lean, and that smaller lineup gives the 2011 Mike One Productions set a tight, focused feel rather than a crowded juggling. Krys kicks things off with “Casser Le Dos, ” while Maylan’s “Star Swageuse” and Tronixx’s “Kay Ka Fet” help push the energy forward; T Jy and Tyloz fill out the session with “A La La” and “Gun, ” each riding the same dancehall framework without crowding it. Mike One keeps the arrangement direct and percussive, with the kind of punchy spacing that leaves room for the vocals to cut through cleanly and the rhythm to do the heavy lifting. As listed, the riddim runs through Krys, Maylan, T Jy, Tronixx and Tyloz, all on the same five-track 2011 release.
