War Dawg Riddim – Loony Bin Jamaica

War Dawg Riddim produced by Loony Bin Jamaica 2009

A short 2009 cut from Loony Bin Jamaica, War Dawg Riddim keeps the focus tight with just three sides, and that economy suits the dark, no-frills feel of the production. Vybz Kartel’s “Licky Licky” is the obvious anchor, with Konshens’ “Ghetto Youth” and Deva Bratt’s “Mi No Believe” filling out the set without crowding it. The riddim sits in that hard dancehall pocket that was running through the era, all clipped drum programming, a stern bass line and enough space for the vocals to cut through cleanly. It doesn’t chase any big crossover gesture; the interest is in how direct it is, with the deejay flows riding a lean, slightly menacing groove at a steady mid-tempo pace.
