Wild Out Riddim – Hard Drive Records

Spragga Benz is the name that jumps out first on Wild Out Riddim, and he sits right in the middle of a 2004 Hard Drive Records juggling that keeps moving between rough-edged deejay cuts and a few more playful turns. Mr Lex’s “Best A Dem, ” General B alongside Mitch on “Dem Ting Deh, ” and Vybz Kartel’s “No Gal Clown” give the set its sharpest pull, while Hollow Point, Problem Child and Tok keep the energy bouncing with the kind of loose, street-ready chat that fit dancehall hard in that period. The riddim also leaves room for a couple of lesser-known cuts like “Hot Girl” and “So Wrong, ” which help fill out the sequence without softening it. But Spragga’s “Ready Now” feels like the anchor, the cut that gives the whole set its most seasoned edge.
