Retro Mudd Up Riddim – In The Streetz Records

By 2005, In The Streetz Records had this one moving on a dark, stripped-back dancehall groove, with a lineup that leans hard on the era’s heavyweights. Beenie Man opens with “Nah Leave Yuh, ” Buju Banton turns up twice with the militant “Good Good A Pressure Dem” and “Guns Dem A Buss, ” and Elephant Man’s “Swear” keeps the energy riding high. Vybz Kartel and Ward 21 add more edge, while Leftside and Esco’s “Hotta Dan You” keeps the pace jagged and street-ready. It’s a nine-track set, with a version tucked in near the back, and that ordering makes the whole thing feel like a producer’s dancehall session rather than a loose compilation.
