Town Side Riddim – Cornelius Records

Around Portmore and Kingston’s dancehall circuit in 2018, Cornelius Records slipped out Town Side Riddim with a lively, mid-tempo swing that leaves room for both fresh voices and familiar names. Aneesa Bad Shaw’s “Wine Up” and the Ebony Stone-assisted radio edit open things with a cheeky, flirtatious push, while Ganggoolie’s “Goodie” and Macka Diamond’s turn on “Tight Shoes” keep the vibe sharp and a little mischievous. Cornelius Daley’s production sits in that clean, bouncy pocket where the hooks do the talking, and the 12-track set moves quickly enough to feel like a proper dancehall session rather than a padded compilation. Pinchers, Prince Banton and Jomo Celebrity add some veteran weight along the way, and the whole thing lands in just over half an hour, which feels about right.
