Brain Tumor Riddim – Kimichi Records

Brain Tumor Riddim hits like a stripped-down, hard-edged dancehall set with just enough room for the individual voices to cut through. Kimichi Records, working alongside Kamatti Troy Hyllam, Swift Beatz and WMG Lab Music, lines up Markuss Simms, Patexx, Xyclone, Bugle and Teflon across eight cuts, with the radio and raw versions giving the riddim that extra bite. Bugle’s “We Nuh Fear” feels like the anchor here, carrying the kind of stern, front-foot energy he was already leaning into around that 2013 stretch, while Xyclone’s “Shakey Badness” keeps the momentum jagged and menacing. It sits neatly in that early-2010s Kimichi lane: compact, vocal-heavy, and aimed squarely at the dance rather than the crossover market.
