Running Belly Riddim – Muta King Records

Muta King Records leans into a rough, no-frills dancehall pulse on Running Belly Riddim, a 2013 juggling that keeps the energy tense and streetwise rather than glossy. The set opens with Maroon Son and Bling’s “Jah Live” and moves through Muta King’s own “Nah Gamble Again” and “Stop Flex Loose” with Jah Lights, giving the project a clear in-house spine before the sharper-edged cuts from Sammy D, Seymour, Stana and Karva take over. Craig Ed East’s “Make It Up” and “Yard Gate” from Continous help round out the rhythm with a more talkative, everyday-yard feel, which suits a riddim named Running Belly: hungry, restless, and built for hard push in the dance. It’s a snapshot of that 2013 era when compact dancehall riddims still carried a whole corner’s worth of attitude.
