Riddim Commission detail debut album ‘Riddim / Bass / Life’

Riddim Commission have finally detailed their long-awaited debut album Riddim / Bass / Life.

Set for release on 19th May, the 12-track project will feature recent singles Cut Some Shapes and Dem Tings Dere alongside new collaborations from the likes of Rye Rye and Doctor. 2015’s Eve-featuring WWYS will also make an appearance.

Riddim Commission have been known to push boundaries within the specialist world over the past few years. With genre-spanning backgrounds, they became one of the first production collectives to fuse house-inspired bass with grime vocals way back during the latter genre’s infancy. Since then, their reworks for the likes of Drake, Rae Sremmurd, Iggy Azalea and Example have won accolades from taste-makers including Annie Mac, DJ Target and Skream.
