Blood And Crip Riddim – Mustang Beats

Crackling tension. Mustang Beats leans into a dark, street-level dancehall cut here, and the title does some of the talking before the voices even come in. Gappy Ranks opens with “Bad Now, ” Bramma follows with the sharper-edged “Run This, ” and Don Pree’s “New Life” gives the set a little lift at the finish, while Big Zeeks and Jevvo keep the energy brisk in between. It’s a compact seven-track package, and the production feels geared more toward grit and attitude than polish, which suits the theme. Coming off a 2019 run that also included other straight-ahead dancehall work, this one sits neatly in Mustang Beats’ catalogue as a tougher, more confrontational cut designed for selectors who like their riddims with bite.
