Tun Cornmeal Riddim – Platinum Franchise Records

Cornmeal heat. Platinum Franchise’s Tun Cornmeal Riddim keeps the roster tight and the energy lean, with Bugle’s “Tutor” leading a three-song set that also gives room to Deva Bratt’s “Another Night” and Dean Loyal’s “Draw Me Out. ” The riddim sits in that crisp early-2010s dancehall pocket where the percussion is clipped and the bass stays purposeful, more direct than flashy. Compared with some of the label’s busier work, this one feels stripped back and concentrated, letting the vocal hooks do the heavy lifting instead of piling on extra movement. It lands as a compact entry in Platinum Franchise Records’ catalogue, the kind of small-format dancehall release that keeps its focus on one rhythm and a few sharp turns over it.
