Zero Four Riddim – Various Artists

Zero Four Riddim keeps things tight with just five cuts, and that smaller frame gives the whole set a sharper, more focused pull. The 2012 dancehall selection runs straight through the lane of bashment talk and dance-floor callouts, with Qounfuzed setting the tone on “Chatta Baax, ” Utterrance rolling through the lively “Loose Mi Handcaffs, ” and Gee Brandon leaning into the club-ready bounce of “New Dance. ” Ras Webber’s “Broke Out” adds another rough-edged turn, but the final word belongs to Legend Elly, whose “Do The Chatta Baax” closes the riddim with the kind of hook that sticks after the beat drops out.
