Tip Side Riddim – Hevs Records

Nine tracks and nine voices make Tip Side Riddim feel like a tight little 2019 dancehall showcase, with Hevs Records keeping the whole thing moving at a brisk, no-frills pace. The selections lean into everyday hustling and badman talk, but the energy stays more playful than grim, especially on Bareface’s “Inna Life, ” Devo Don’s “Our Lifestyle, ” and Leanny Frass’ “Who Dat, ” which rides the rhythm with the sharpest hook here. Shu Shu’s “Fly To Brazil” adds a lighter, travel-minded turn, while Youngy closes the set with “We Want Fxck, ” a blunt final cut that keeps the pressure on. Hevs Records also leaves the instrumental in the running order, and it works like a clean sign-off, letting the raw pulse of the riddim speak for itself.
