Hello Good Morning Riddim – Various Artists

By 2010, the Hello Good Morning Riddim sits in that run of crossover-leaning dancehall projects where the big names and the remix energy do most of the talking, with Buju Banton linking with Soulja Boy on “Champion Donk” and Vybz Kartel turning up twice with Indu on “Know Bout Me” in both edit and raw versions. The set has a brisk, cheeky feel, helped by Dj Quiva and Dj Chuckx splitting the remix work across the strongest cuts, while Tifa’s “Tease” keeps the riddim moving with a sharper, more direct vocal approach. It’s a short six-track release, but the tracklist carries enough contrast to show how producers were chasing both street dancehall weight and pop-culture crossover in the same package. The package closes with the instrumental version, alongside two Kartel cuts and the Buju-Soulja Boy collaboration.
