1. Moskato Riddim (Birchill Records)
The Moskato Riddim from Birchill Records was absolutely inescapable this year at any Caribbean function worldwide and crossed over a bit into hip-hop circles thanks to Konshens’ massive single “Bruk Off” and Charly Black’s “Hoist and Wine.” Tifa does her thing as always on “Big Bumper” as well. Keeping in the uptempo dembow-meets-dancehall formula that’s worked so well for so many riddims the last few years, this one should definitely stand the test of time in the dance.
