True Hustle Riddim – Zibokay Records

Denham Smith gets the sharpest footing on True Hustle Riddim, with his title cut setting the tone before Rebellion The Recaller slides in on the conscious, road-weary “Trod On The Journey Of Life. ” Zibokay Records keeps the session compact at four songs, and that brevity suits the project’s straight-ahead roots feel: no extra clutter, just sturdy vocals over a neatly paced 2016 juggling. Jayharno’s “Show Some Love” loosens things up a touch, while Shortlord’s “Ego Trippin’” adds a bit of attitude at the end. Compared with some of Zibokay’s later one-riddim work, this one feels leaner and more song-first, leaning on melody and message rather than heavy studio tricks. It sits neatly inside the label’s small but focused catalogue, with Denham Smith’s “True Hustle” as the cut that ties the whole thing together.
