Weed Baby Riddim – Mari The Producer

A smoky, herb-heavy dancehall groove runs through Weed Baby Riddim, with the bass doing most of the talking while the melodies stay lean and sticky. Mari The Producer lines up 11 cuts here, and the sequencing keeps the energy moving from D’yani’s “Leave” and Abatau’s “Right Now” through sharper turns like 4EB’s “Loose Guard, ” D’East’s “Not Mi Girl, ” and Penny Don’s title track. It’s the kind of one-riddim set where the individual voices have to do the lifting, and that works in its favor, especially when Core Entrie and Kahpreno come in with darker, more pointed write-ups over the same backdrop. Released in August 2019, the project runs 11 tracks and credits Mari The Producer throughout.
