Global Mix Riddim – Tuff Nut

Global Mix Riddim finds Tuff Nut in a breezy 2016 reggae mode, with a clean, mid-tempo groove that leaves room for the singers to carry the weight. Ziggy Ranking’s “On My Mind” has an easy hooky feel, while Marley Palmer’s “Get Ready” comes in with a more direct, rallying tone; Empress Smooth’s “Free Style” adds a lighter, more playful touch to the set. The rest of the lineup keeps the energy steady with Ruben, Supreme, and Patriotic each taking a shot at the same rhythm, and the closing instrumental/version cuts it back to the bare framework. Released in April 2016 and clocking in at just seven tracks, it’s a quick snapshot of Tuff Nut’s studio style that year.
