Ripe Plantain Riddim – Yam & Banana

2018 dancehall came through with Ripe Plantain Riddim from Yam and Banana, a seven-track set released on September 16, 2018 and produced by Uri Green through the Bristol-based Yam and Banana imprint. The lineup brings in Blackout JA on Staying Alive, Daddy Freddy on A We, Da Fuchaman featuring Skrilla Ugq on Go Baby Go, plus Jah Garvey, Mad Sam, and Ranking Snoopy, with the instrumental closing the package. The riddim leans into a dancehall crossover feel with reggaeton, Latin percussion, and darker synth touches, which gives the project a sharper edge than a straight club rhythm. Yam and Banana have long worked around a UK bashment sound, and this one fits neatly into that catalog.
