Hot Up Bout Ya Riddim – Rythem Track

Hot Up Bout Ya Riddim – Rythem Track is a tight 1985 two-song set produced by Delroy Collins for the Rythem Track label, pairing Tonto Irie’s title cut Hot Up Bout Ya with Tony Rebel’s Starvation. The small tracklist gives it a focused, sing-song clash feel rather than a crowded various-artists spread, and it also captures two different voices from the era, with Tonto Irie coming in strong and Tony Rebel turning up on one of his earlier recorded sides. Delroy Collins’ production credit ties it to the same corner of mid-80s dancehall where stripped-back rhythms and sharp vocals did the talking, making this one a compact, vocal-driven release with a clean one-riddim layout.
