Voodoo Riddim (2015) – Yardvybz

By the time Mavado cuts into “Voodoo” and Sizzla follows with “Run Dem, ” you can hear Yardvybz aiming for a taut, no-frills dancehall run rather than a sprawling showcase. The 2015 set keeps all eight cuts in a tight lane, with Bling Dawg’s “No Change, ” Mr Lexx’s “Haters Role, ” and Wayne Marshall’s “No Bwoy” giving the riddim its sharpest hooks. It’s a lean producer package from Yard Vybz Ent. , the kind of release that leans on name artists but still keeps the rhythm front and center. The track order moves from caution and attitude into swagger and threat, and that sequencing gives the whole thing a deliberate, escalating feel.
