Wave The Money Riddim – World Hits Records

Out of Jamaica’s mid-2016 dancehall run, Wave The Money Riddim lands in that money-talk lane with a sharp, no-frills bounce from World Hits Records, and the title alone tells you the mood. The juggling pulls in 13 cuts and keeps circling the same hustler theme, with Nahswitch’s “Wave The Money” and Shane O’s “Tinga Linga” giving the set its clearest hooks, while Ras Bogle, Jah Be, and Jus Chris all add their own takes on the paper chase. World Hits keeps the rhythm lean and street-minded, letting the vocals ride the groove without crowding it, which suits a project that was circulating in March 2016 and feels very much of that moment. It’s the kind of riddim where the names keep the energy moving, and even the title track sneaks in at the end like a last word.
