Make It Clap Riddim – Yardie Yankee

Alozade and Chico set the pace here with “Pump It Up, ” the sharper pull of the two cuts on a very slim 2003 Yardie Yankee release, while Future Troubles takes the other slot with “Return Of The Jedi (Hip Hop), ” a title that points straight at the crossover lean of the tune. With only two tracks on the riddim, there’s no fat on it, just a quick dancehall set-up that moves between party talk and that early-2000s hip-hop pull Jamaicans were threading into the sound. Yardie Yankee keeps the whole thing compact and focused, and the project’s short run gives both vocals room to land without any filler. Make It Clap Riddim was produced by Yardie Yankee in 2003.
