BOOM! Of course, McGregor also has other tunes constantly running (including another from Mavado, 'Special Kinda Gyal') and you know what you're dealing with, so you can generally expect the quality which almost always shows up.īlooming. I did like this song, but I don't know if it was because… I did like this song or because that riddim is just so much madness. The typically quiet, unassuming and reserved Mavado (who I just didn't listen to very much in 2012) chimes in with the official release of a song from a month or two ago, the quiet and unassuming and reserved 'This Morning'. The former delivers the very colourful and typically creative 'Material Girl', which takes more than a while to do so, but does actually grow on you (or it doesn't, your choice), while the latter just does something else. are back at work, releasing digital tunes again (not that they ever stopped) and lately they've put out a noteworthy pair of tracks via Dancehall stars Agent Sasco and Mavado. Big riddim and album here.įollowing the recent release of the… NASTY Face Off Riddim (and I mean that in a good way), Stephen McGregor and co. Of course, a big riddim doesn't go very far on its own, it needs big tunes and the Downtown is afforded some of the most capable of names in the vocal department as it features selections from the likes of Sizzla Kalonji, Lutan Fyah, Turbulence & I Shenko, Perfect Giddimani, TransAmazoniennes artist Prince Koloni, the aforementioned Mikey General and others (like King Shadrock).

Big credit goes to both here because this riddim is NICE, with just a hint of both old school and new school textures combined to make one fine composition and definitely one of the better of its kind in this part of the year. Also on board is Riddim Wise, from out of Canada who, I believe, actually built the Downtown.

The same label has quietly been experiencing a nice growth in the past couple of years or so and, along with a an album or two (most notably from Little Guerrier), I would definitely say that the Downtown is probably their biggest set to date. Next we have a sweet, SWEET Roots piece via TransAmazoniennes (which is a label, if I recall correctly, that is full on global - stretching from Guyane to Canada to France), the Downtown Riddim.
