Training Yaad Riddim – 1st Class Musiq

1st Class Musiq keeps Training Yaad Riddim in that gritty 2016 dancehall pocket, but the set has a more playful, almost drill-sergeant edge than the name might suggest. Blak Ryno’s “Play Station” and Turbulence’s “Chalice” give it early muscle, while Ninja Ford and Pretti Kitti pull out more reflective turns later on. The release runs as a compact 12-track set, and even the sequencing leans into that structure: after the first wave of vocals, Antwain’s “Bubble Up” appears in both clean and raw versions before the closing instrumental, which feels like a deliberate nod to selectors and sound systems as much as the singers.
