Buh Lups Riddim

Rough and rowdy, this 2003 set keeps the energy snapping across seven cuts, with the title itself sounding like a warning shot before the first drop. Flava’s “Mama Doh Like” and General Grant’s “Done Buy We Ting” set the tone early, but the riddim keeps shifting through different angles of dancehall attitude, from Iwer George’s cheeky “All The Bottom Is Yours” to Kmc’s harder-edged “Big Bad Dog. ” Krosfyah’s “Sexy Body” nudges the project toward a more party-minded feel, while Magadan and Radioactive keep the pace brisk with “Gimme De Signal” and “Gyal Dem Chune. ” The strongest pull here is Kmc, whose cut lands with the most bite and gives the riddim its sharpest edge.
