Da Humm Riddim

Da Humm Riddim leans into that raw 2003 dancehall energy, with a run of blunt, swagger-heavy cuts from Baby Quin, Charlie Brown, Junior Killa and Squingy Mafia. The version list is tight and singer-heavy rather than sprawling, and Junior Killa doubles up with “Jump Around” and “Right Now, ” while Squingy Mafia’s “War” and “What’s My Name” keep the tone sharp and confrontational. There’s no producer credit attached in the listing, which leaves the riddim itself to do the talking: a compact eight-track set with six artists across the board. One track is listed as “Unknown – Di Gal Scream, ” which adds to the slightly loose, street-level feel of the package. Released in 2003, Da Humm Riddim contains eight tracks.
