Western Riddim – World Wide Success Records

Capleton sounds like the sharpest cut on Western Riddim, and “Hot In The Place” gives World Wide Success Records’ 2003 juggling a straight shot of heat and urgency before Turbulence comes in on “Dam Da Dam” with that rough-edged, militant pressure he does so well. Frisco Kid’s “Can’t Stop Wi Form Strive” adds a lighter, more nimble touch, which helps the riddim move with a nice little swing rather than sitting in one mood all the way through. World Wide Success keeps the set lean — just four cuts, with the version closing it out — and that compact shape gives the whole thing a quick, focused feel, almost like a short ride through a dusty dancehall lane.
