Warrior Riddim (2021) – Niyahfyah Records

Warrior Riddim keeps things tight: three cuts, two voices, and one instrumental from Niyahfyah Records. Red Lion a. k. a. Redda Fella opens with “Any Way, ” Ras Victory answers on “Powers, ” and the RV Beatz instrumental closes the set with a stripped-back pull that leaves room for the drums and bass to do the talking. Coming off the same busy 2021 run that gave the label Moonlight and Coast, this one feels more pared down and militant than expansive, like a quick strike rather than a full sound-clash package. Red Lion handles half the release and gives the project its spine, while Ras Victory keeps the energy sharp on his lone turn. It sits neatly in the Niyahfyah Records catalogue as one of those compact dancehall drops built for selectors who like a clean, purpose-built riddim.
