Wet Weather Riddim – Dre Day Productions

Wet Weather Riddim keeps it tight with five cuts, and the cast tells you exactly where Dre Day Productions was aiming in 2014: Kalado and Farenizzi on “The Way We Ride, ” Voicemail’s sharp “Str8, ” Javada’s “Anything You Want, ” plus Leftside and Chico filling out the juggling with “Rain” and “Fulla Tricks. ” The vibe leans into clean, mid-tempo dancehall with a slick, glossy edge rather than anything raw or militant, so the vocal hooks and patter do most of the work. Kalado’s cut has the most bounce thanks to Farenizzi’s feature, while Voicemail brings the kind of clipped, singjay energy that keeps a riddim moving. The set closes with Dre Day Productions’ own instrumental version, which underlines the tune’s airy, weather-themed feel and leaves the rhythm itself doing the talking.
