Whine And Kotch Riddim (2021) – Crate Classics

Crate Classics keeps the Whine And Kotch Riddim tight and lean, with just four cuts that circle the same breezy, dancehall-ready groove without ever sounding repetitive. Lil Keish’s “Wealth” opens things with a sharp, money-minded edge, while Brixx on the title track pushes the rhythm a little harder, helped by the Yung Saber remix treatment that gives it extra movement. Ceize’s “Dun Talking” sits nicely in the middle, and the strongest closer here is probably “Born Fi Lead, ” where Chedda Bo$$ links up directly with Crate Classics and leans into a more commanding, chest-out delivery. The whole set landed in December 2021 and runs with a compact, party-forward feel, the kind of riddim that gets its point across fast and leaves you wanting one more pull.
