One of the best ZJ Chrome productions this year, this 100+ bpm riddim contains some serious cuts from the likes of Mavado, Vybz Kartel, Konshens, I Octane and Tifa to name a few. My personal favorites are the cuts (“Lyrically Educated” and “Georgina,” respectively) from Tifa and Kartel, two lyrical geniuses who deliver some firm vocals on this naked and rough riddim. Konshens’s cut on the riddim, “God a Mi Don,” was one of the most played songs in my sets during this summer — Sweden loves that tune! —DJ Shirkhan
