Too Blessed Riddim – Coppershot Music

Charly Black’s “Too Blessed” is the cleanest way into Coppershot Music’s 2012 set, because it catches that bright, early-2010s dancehall swing without crowding the tune, and the rest of the lineup keeps that energy moving with Busy Signal’s “Gyalis, ” Sean Paul’s “Hold You Tonight” in both raw and edit versions, and Demarco’s “Iron Bird. ” Coppershot knew how to frame big voices around a catchy, radio-ready riddim, and this one sits right in that pocket, with Sean Paul and Wayne Marshall bringing a little extra gloss on the standout holiday cut “Thank God It’s Christmas. ” There’s a nice bit of variety too, from Elephant Man’s “Kotch” to Tony Matterhorn’s “Party Time Again, ” before the whole thing eases out with that full 10-track spread.
