UP AND RUNNING RIDDIM produced by FRENZ FOR REAL – 2011
Up And Running Overview
Up And Running Riddim comes straight from Jamaica’s dancehall scene in 2011. This sound system cut quickly found its way into late-night parties and street dances. The riddim’s sharp, energetic beat made it a favorite for selectors and DJs. The artists on this release brought their own flavor. Star’s “unruly” is a standout, with raw lyrics and a catchy hook. Bentley’s “dem nuh like mi” is full of attitude, showing off his confident style. Determine delivers “no suckie duckie,” a song that keeps the energy high and the crowd moving. Gott yo brings “gallis sunda,” a track all about the gyallis lifestyle, and teams up with propally on “aids,” a serious song with a hard-hitting message. Propally also appears solo on “aids,” giving another angle to the topic. The riddim also features Kanaga with “hot ova back,” Karamanti’s “grab man,” and Natural black’s “stallion.” Rojah dalla’s “girls alone” is another favorite, keeping the party vibes strong.
