Future Troubles Riddim – Y Not Productions

Y-Not Productions was in a busy run in the early 2010s, and Future Troubles Riddim sits right in that stretch: a 2013 dancehall juggling with 16 tracks and 13 unique voices, released under Y-Not Productions with a clean, digital bounce that keeps the energy high without sounding overcrowded. The album version landed on October 1, 2013, and the package moves like a selector’s tool, built for quick flips, reloads, and crowd response.

The riddim’s strongest pull is the way it mixes veteran names with sharper up-and-comers. Elephant Man’s “Ride It” comes in both clean and raw versions, and that double entry tells you exactly where the set is aimed: party-ready, street-level, and flexible for radio or dance use. Ding Dong’s “Mi Waan Know” adds his trademark dancehall swagger, while Tanto Metro and Devonte’s “Gyal A Mad” brings a more seasoned chemistry to the rhythm. Richie Loop’s “Fake, ” also split into clean and raw, keeps the theme of everyday tension and calling out fronts, and King Youth gets extra room with multiple cuts, including “Bad Suh” and “Gal Give It Up, ” which helps give the riddim a local core rather than just a parade of names.

Caldhino, Future Fambo, Killa Kid, King Tappa, Eska, Tahirah, and Teknique fill out the project with different shades of flirtation, bravado, and grind. Future Troubles Riddim works because the beat stays consistent and lively while the artists push it in their own directions.
