Trapsetter Riddim – Zj Ice And Thirty Six Degrees

Trapsetter Riddim comes in lean and straight to the point, a two-song dancehall set from ZJ Ice and Thirty Six Degrees with Macka Diamond’s title cut and T. O. K’s “Million Dollar” doing the heavy lifting. Macka Diamond’s “Trapsetter” has the sharper edge, all attitude and streetwise bite, while T. O. K keep things slick and melodic on “Million Dollar, ” which gives the riddim a little more room to breathe. The clean/raw doubles suggest this was aimed hard at selectors and radio alike, not just casual listeners. It also feels like a trimmed-down companion to the bigger Thirty Six Degrees dancehall runs from that period, where the crew were clearly comfortable moving between club-ready singles and full-blown riddim packages. As a 2014 production, it sits neatly in that compact corner of the catalogue where the focus is on punchy hooks and fast replay value.
