Top Of The Hundred Riddim – Kirkdove Records

Top Of The Hundred Riddim lands with that old-school dancehall pulse Kirkdove Records does well: lean, driving, and built for the sound system. The cut that really grabs is Exco Levi’s “Dutchie Wah Food, ” where his sharp delivery sits nicely over the instrumental’s tough swing, while Lutan Fyah’s “Sorry Fi Dem” keeps the mood militant without overplaying it. Kenyatta Hill’s “Trod Along” adds a smoother, rootsier touch, and the in-house instrumental from Kirk Kirkledove Bennett lets the riddim breathe on its own. The lineup is strong across the board too, with cuts from D-Major, Voicemail, Tanto Metro and Devonte, and Red Rose giving the project some extra range. It was circulating in 2014, right in that period when producers were still leaning hard on stripped-back reggae riddims with a modern edge.
