It’s a riddim that is predominantly built with drums. In the chorus, a simple dark piano riff that adds some tension to the riddim, which already has a serious tone. From time to time, a high-pitched guitar lick lights it up. It’s the kind of rididm that forces the artists to impose their own flow instead of simply following the riddim. As a result, each and every song sounds really different and has its own particularities.
The riddim is available for purchase, and streaming on digital outlets such as iTunes. You may click here to preview it or click here to buy it now.
