2 Clean Riddim – Hya Klass

In 2018, when dancehall was leaning hard into taut drum programming and lean, street-level juggling, Hya Klass came with 2 Clean Riddim and kept it tight with just five cuts. The rhythm has that compact, no-frills bounce that leaves plenty of room for the vocals, and the mood shifts from the hard-edged caution of 2bad’s Neglectful Father to Chronic Law’s Millions, which feels like the sharpest tune here. Dohlance’s Trouble and Ric Carbi’s Stash keep the pressure up with more of that hustler talk, while Star Bingi closes the set with 2 Clean Fi Dem, a final cut that locks the whole thing into its grimy, direct groove.
