Hypie Typie Riddim – Gang Star Record

Produced by Gang Star Record in 1996, Hypie Typie is a compact five-track reggae set that brings together Action Fire, Squidley Ranking, Merciless, and Harvel Hart and T. Boswell on a tight, late-90s dancehall groove. The selection leans on a small but lively lineup, with Merciless handling two cuts, including Nah Nuh Sense Bruce and Ready Fi Di War, while Tan So Bad and Nuh Sleep Ina Pajama help round out the rhythm’s character. The tune is also known as Hypie Typie in the broader 1996 riddim listings, and the release sits in the same era as the Nah Nuh Sense Bruce/Mecca family of rhythms, which helps place its style in the mid-90s dancehall lane.
