Veteran Riddim (2021) – Righteous Records

Righteous Records keeps things lean on Veteran Riddim, dropping a two-track dancehall set in March 2021 that pairs Tiko Angelos on “San Siro” with Jason Todah O’Neil on “Money Talk. ” The production, credited to Christopher Mayers and the Righteous Records camp, sits in a tight mid-tempo pocket at around 96 BPM, with a steady drum pattern and a firm low end that leave plenty of room for the vocals to ride the groove. “San Siro” leans a little more melodic, while “Money Talk” feels more clipped and direct, which gives the small lineup some contrast without breaking the mood. It’s a compact riddim, but the bassline stays front and center, anchoring the whole thing with a dry, propulsive bounce.
