DJ turned manager, turned DJ, turned producer and just all around dancehall veteran Delly Ranks has been on a roll as of late. While he (to date) never got around to releasing his debut album on VP (reportedly a HUGE album) his production work has been drawing a great deal of attention as prior to his latest, Ghetto Whiskey, he released the MASSIVE Red Bull & Guiness (apparently Delly has a great affinity for the juice) which garnered such a huge attention earlier this year. The RB&G was packed with nearly 25 tracks by the time it reached disc (also for Greensleeves) and the formula worked to great results.The Ghetto Whiskey even outdoes its older brother with a massive 27 tracks and a mix cd on the riddim (which the RB&G also had) accompanying the disc. Delly and co-producer The Genius haven't built a riddim which is entirely too different from the RB&G at all, in fact, calling the Ghetto Whiskey the Red Bull 2 wouldn't exactly be all that unfair at all. Both are new age, high-tech and uptempo riddims undoubtedly geared towards dancehall's youngest of generations. And both are very solid and packed full of vibes.The artist roster for the Ghetto Whiskey is very similar to the RB&G with a just a few new faces and faces gone. Its a nice selection as it almost exclusively focuses on the younger artists, and I'm not even going to complain over the absence of artists like Beenie, Bounty and Spragga from Delly's own generation, this is a new riddim and some of the newest and freshest talents in the dancehalls are voicing over it (now what happened to Assassin and Munga Honourable here?).The best tune here is hard to say because the absolute top level tracks on this riddim are pretty close to each other in terms of quality. But were I forced to pick I would side with truly WICKED War Monga by the sickly flowing young superstar Idonia. The track is ridiculous as builds a HUGE vibe throughout the song and you can expect everything which you'll see the newscasters and critics saying is wrong with dancehall these days, but War Monga is a big big song. The undoubted #2 is also track #2 definitely the big big combination between Vybz Kartel and new big singer at the moment Mavado. Very very nice combination which would typically be expected to having Busy Signal (also conspicuously absent here) sub for Kartel or Wayne Marhsall (who does offer the nice Who We Are on the riddim) but the two work very well together and I'll definitely be hoping for another combination between the two.Other highlights here include: old old school (j/k) veteran Mega Banton showing how he is one of the best dj's still at building melodies with his lyrics on the fine fine I'm Dangerous; Wayne Wonder on the EXCELLENT Mistake (a slight difference in the riddims make this one a little more 'open' and very accessible to a pure singer like Wayne Wonder to do well over. Check the nice changeup here on the excellent Convine Me by up and coming female talent Shema; and 2 nice tracks by up and coming singers Craig Dennis with the nice All Day and also Singing Sweet with How Will I Know ( a remake of the r&b song of the same title) which is gimmicky, but I like it, the riddim changes up nicely for it and its a nice chane up pace.A few other tracks worth mentioning (did I mention this one was packed?): Anthony B's well done Rise the Machine is a solid track as is the out of place (as he was on the RB&G) but NICE Protect Your Soul from Norris Man, Protect Your Soul is a BIG tune! Vybz Kartel's Bruck It (aka Bruck Buddy Tactic) which is probably the most spinned record from the entire album. Happy to see UK's finest dj Chukki Starr continue his foray into much more attention here on the solid For the Girls Dem and his track will definitely be overlooked, however despite the talent here (and there is some serious talent here) Starr is without a doubt one of the most talented of the bunch and he looses it well powerful on the track. And lastly Bad Mind by the ULTRA hyped Bramma who sounds a little like Idonia, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on the artist and his track here is solid (you can't help but keep an eye on him in Jamaica he's all over EVERYWHERE!).Overall, Im definitely recommending the Ghetto Whiskey riddim. With Greensleeves proclivity and prolificacy in releasing these types of albums, the Ghetto Whiskey is without a doubt one of the best they've EVER released (all this being done under the watch of the almighty Diwali which is THE best they've ever released) and it is a good changeup. Definitely if you enjoyed the Red Bull & Guiness (you probably already have this one in that case) check this one out, its not too much different, but 27 tracks strong with some of the finest young talent JA has to offer, definitely worth the time of almost any fan of modern dancehall.
