Hype A.K.A Iff Riddim – Ghetto Quality

Hype A.K.A Iff Riddim – Ghetto Quality 1998

Hype A. K. A Iff Riddim came out in 1998 on Ghetto Quality and pulls together a compact 11-track dancehall set with an instrumental in the middle of the sequence. The lineup mixes a strong mid-90s roster with Evette, Frisco Kid, General Degree, Hawkeye, Mr Easy, Mr Vegas, Richie Stephens, Sweet C, TOK and UT Dread, with General Degree’s Giddy Up Giddy Up and Mr Vegas’s Model Pon Dem among the names that jump out. The riddim moves between street-ready chants and brighter party cuts, while the full instrumental version helps give the release a DJ-friendly feel. Ghetto Quality also handled Hype Riddim around the same era, which fits the label’s sharp late-90s dancehall run.
