Wicked / Wild Riddim – Loyal Records

Loyal Records’ Wicked / Wild Riddim sits neatly in the 2017 dancehall lane, a compact six-track set that keeps the focus on voice and attitude rather than gimmicks. Junior Cat’s “Style Quick” gives the rhythm its sharpest pull, while Luke Nuk’em’s “New Style” and Wu’s “Bad Scene Killer” lean into the same clipped, badman-ready energy, with T-Manfyah doubling down on the title cut in both the straight and “badman version” takes. The production has that lean, streetwise bounce that leaves plenty of room for the deejays to cut through, and the whole thing closes with the instrumental version of the riddim, making the package feel complete without dragging it out.
