True Words Riddim – Big Laugh Music / Sasaine Music Records

In 2017, when dancehall was leaning hard on reflective hooks and streetwise confessionals, True Words Riddim slotted right into the conversation with a compact 96 BPM groove and a roster that keeps the focus on message over flash. Deep Jahi’s “Money Hunny” and Prohgres’ “Memory Lane” are the quick hooks to chase here, while J-Rile’s “Seet Clear” and Xklusive’s “Ghetto Anthem” push the sharper, more grounded side of the riddim. The set also gets a lift from the duet cut “Rise Again” by Venomus and Jahvante Campbell, which adds a little more lift without losing the serious tone. Released on June 30, 2017, and put together by Big Laugh Music and Sasaine Music Records, it’s one of those midyear dancehall projects that feels built for DJs who like their riddims lean, vocal, and easy to work into a set.
