Mi Like It Riddim – Hypeyawdz Records

Hypeyawdz kept this one in a hard-nosed 2013 dancehall pocket, with a row of badmind anthems, flex tunes, and straight talking from Di Great, Laden, Penti, Xean Don, and Maximus. The title cut and Laden’s “Instruction” set the tone early, while Xean Don’s “Not Friends” gets an extra push by landing in both raw and radio form, which tells you the label was thinking about the street and the airwaves at the same time. There’s a familiar 2013-era confidence to it: minimal fuss, lots of attitude, and a steady run of young voices trying to carve out their lane. Coming in as a 19-track set with 15 different artists, it sits neatly inside Hypeyawdz Records’ early catalogue as one of those compact riddims built for rotation rather than polish.
