West Block Riddim – Di Kemys

Still rolling out of 2017, West Block Riddim has that lean, no-frills dancehall pulse Di Kemys seems to favor: a stripped-back instrumental with enough muscle to hold the voices without crowding them. Discyple’s “World Praise” comes in with a devotional angle that sits neatly against Fyah Slice’s “Born And Grow, ” while Marly G’s “Dream World” adds a more reflective edge; the fact that it turns up twice in the listing suggests it was one of the cuts getting the most attention. Rebirth’s “Same One” keeps the set grounded, and Di Kemys closes the thing with the instrumental, which runs just under four minutes and leaves the riddim to speak for itself. It’s a compact six-track release, built around five artists and the producer’s own version, right in the middle of that busy 2017 riddim season.
