King Kong Riddim – Hybrid Theory

Hybrid Theory’s King Kong Riddim came out with a lean seven-track run in 2016, and it hits like a little soundclash package rather than a sprawling compilation. The cut that pulls it together is Isiah Mentor’s “Champion Time, ” especially the solo version, where his clipped delivery sits nicely against the riddim’s taut, forward-driving pulse, while Marshall Neeko’s “King Kong” and its dub version give the project a darker edge. D’nations’ “Play Boy (King Kong Mix)” and Tenor Youthman’s “Keeping A Dance” keep the energy moving without ever loosening the grip. It’s the kind of riddim that feels built for late-night play, all muscle and motion, with Kojo Neatness’ “Work Harder” tucked in as a sharp little detail.
