Kling Klang Riddim – Dre Skull

Produced by Dre Skull and released in 2012, Kling Klang Riddim is a tight dancehall set on Mixpak that lines up Beenie Man, Popcaan, Tifa, Deva Bratt and Suku over one crisp instrumental, with Dre Skull closing it out on the title cut. The project plays like a compact showcase of the Brooklyn-Caribbean link he was building through the label, and the tracklist leans on strong singles such as Beenie Man’s Super Model, Popcaan’s So We Do It and Tifa’s Champion Bubbler. It’s a short but memorable package, with the instrumental included and a vocal roster that gives the riddim plenty of range and momentum.
