Wrought Iron Riddim – In Time Music

By 2004, dancehall was deep in the juggling era, and Wrought Iron Riddim sits right in that pocket with In Time Music lining up a sharp, radio-ready set of voices over the same cut. The riddim sits in the company of the label’s early-2000s run, part of the stretch that also included projects like Party Time and other sound-system favourites. Capleton’s “Seek And Search” and Elephant Man’s “Show Mi Di Position” give it two of the tougher pulls, while Anthony Cruz, Daville, and the Devonte and Tanto Metro pairing keep the energy moving in different directions. There are 17 tracks in all, which makes the sequencing feel less like a loose compilation and more like a deliberate sweep through the style, from Aisha’s opener to the closing run of street-minded selections.
