Tomatoe Riddim – Hypeyawdz

Tomatoe Riddim keeps its focus on straight-ahead 2012 dancehall energy, with Hypeyawdz running the whole thing and leaving just enough room for each cut to push a different corner of the dance. Teff’s “Gone” and Zooras’ “Turn Up Di Swag” lean into the kind of quick-hit party talk that was moving through the scene at the time, while Dosfire’s “Hot Party” and Windem And Rule 9’s “Gyal Yah Body Good” keep the temperature up with cheeky, floor-ready chat. Kemmikal’s “Promise You” gives the set a smoother pull before Hypeyawdz closes with the title track, which feels like the riddim’s clearest statement and the cut that ties the whole six-track run together.
