Tun Up Loud Riddim (2015) – Krazy Hits

There’s a sharp, horn-punctuated dancehall pulse running through Tun Up Loud Riddim, the 2015 Krazy Hits set that keeps the energy clipped and rowdy without getting messy. Beenie Man turns up twice in the orbit here, and “Bing Bong” feels like the anchor cut, sitting right alongside “Tun Up Loud” with Future Fambo and Blazin’ Kerosene on the mic; that pairing gives the riddim its most obvious spark, the veteran’s ease playing off the rougher, more party-forward cuts. Miss Kelly New York’s “Goody Goody Round Here” and Junior Demus’ “Yankie Slang” keep the various-artist flow moving, while the version at the end is a nice reminder that Krazy Hits knew exactly how to leave the riddim room to breathe, even if only for a few bars.
