10. Bounty Killer, โ€œDo Better Than Thisโ€

Bounty Killer reminds us why heโ€™s called the Poor Peopleโ€™s Governor on this standout cut from Suku Ward 21โ€™s Law Riddim. He doesnโ€™t hold back his opinions, tackling many of the biggest social issues facing Jamaica today, his vigour and in-your-face delivery providing a superb contrast to the stripped-down bass driven production. We first heard the Law Riddim when another attention-grabbing track in Agent Sascoโ€™s โ€œOur Lawโ€ dropped in the summer. A full release of the riddim followed in December with a total of 19 artists, a rarity these days. โ€” Gibbo
