Thunder Ball Riddim – Rockers Productions

Rockers Productions’ 2011 Thunder Ball Riddim sits in a harder, more militant dancehall pocket than the producer’s later thunderball outings, with a stripped-down pulse that leaves plenty of room for big, barking vocals. Aidonia’s “Thunderous Clap” and Elephant Man’s “Wine Baby Wine” hit with the most immediate energy, while Vybz Kartel’s “She Love” cools the pace just enough to keep the set from feeling one-note. Around them, the likes of Flexxx, Munga and Hilltop, Professor and Sanjay keep the pressure on with gun-talk, war-talk and sound-system bravado, which is really the point here. The instrumental “Desert Storm – Thunder Ball Riddim” closes the circle cleanly and underlines how sharp and heavyweight the riddim itself is.
