Twenty Twenty Riddim – Loud City

A lean, mid-tempo dancehall swing runs through Loud City’s Twenty Twenty Riddim, keeping the pulse tight at just over 94 BPM and giving the whole set that clean, street-ready shuffle. The project landed on June 1, 2017, with nine cuts in all, and the tracklist moves evenly between the clean and explicit versions rather than piling on a huge cast. Cv and Fusbaan’s “Live Life” and G Starr’s “Twenty Twenty” do the early heavy lifting, while Cement Kid’s “Support Di Bar” and DJ Elly’s pair of cuts push the barroom energy a little harder. Nackiss closes it out with “High Inna Sky, ” and that’s the one that leaves the sharpest mark, a final turn that keeps the riddim’s easy bounce in focus.
