Tyrese Riddim – Blackol Records

Blackol Records keeps the Tyrese Riddim moving with a 2015 dancehall juggling that leans toward the romantic and self-assured side of the lane, even when the arrangement stays tight and street-ready. Assian Black’s “Do I” and Chiks_B’s “Hold Me” set the tone early, while Diamond White’s “Wah-Yuh Noh Freewoman” and Miss Indipendent’s “I Feel Love” tilt the vibe into flirtation and attitude rather than full-throttle gunman business. The vocal lineup isn’t overloaded, so each cut has room to breathe, and that gives Pepperhot featuring Tyana’s “Nu Gal To Mi Man” a bit more lift when it arrives. Tust Afro’s “Pretty Lady” closes the set with the kind of catchy pull that leaves the riddim on a neat final note.
