Action Man Riddim (2014) – Hypemasters Entertainment

Sparse but sharp, Action Man Riddim came out of Hypemasters Entertainment in 2014 with a lean 10-track dancehall set that keeps the energy moving between raw and radio cuts, which is where the project gets its shape. Dj Aaron and Scifi’s “Room Service” opens the line in both versions, then Donteh’s “Gyal Dem Song, ” Gilloh’s “So Wi Dweet, ” and I-Angel’s “Mama” keep the pace locked into fast, speaker-friendly dancehall. There’s a little extra regional flavor in the mix too, with Marc Brunnel’s “Jamaican Gal” tapping his Kenyan-Jamaican crossover angle while J-Zero and Bridgette Q add a brighter duet moment on “Make It Hot. ” But the tune that leaves the deepest mark here is Mc Advice’s title cut, “Action Man, ” especially in the raw take, where the riddim’s punch lands with the most force.
