Vybz Principal Riddim – Masta Myne Records

Masta Myne Records keeps this one locked into that late-2018 Kartel orbit, with “Vybz Principal” doing the heavy lifting and even getting a radio edit alongside the raw cut. The riddim has that taut, bass-heavy dancehall swing that leaves room for the voices to cut through, and Kartel’s title tune leans into a slick, yard-king attitude rather than overcomplicating the thing. Sikka Rymes’ “Gaza Forever” is the other one that jumps out, riding the same groove with a sharper chant-along feel, while Chappa Chaps and George P keep the energy moving on the B-side of the playlist. Released on August 3, 2018, the project lands as a compact 13-track set, which makes the whole thing feel like a snapshot of the era rather than a sprawling compilation.
