Hip Hooray Riddim

HIP HOORAY RIDDIM 2003

A stray little 2003 dancehall set like this usually lives on the details, and here it’s the trim four-track lineup that does the talking: Peter Ram’s “Look Good” and Star Perez’s “Musty Man” sit beside the instrumental version and the mysterious “We Is We” cut, all riding a direct, no-frills riddim built for the dance rather than the radio. Peter Ram gives the session its clearest hook, while Star Perez leans into the rougher edge of the rhythm, and the “Version” cut lets the production breathe long enough to hear how spare and punchy it is underneath. It’s a compact showcase, but that economy is part of the charm, with just four tracks and four different names on the bill.
