Whats Up Riddim – Loyal Soldiers Production

Capleton’s “Can’t Run For It” is the cut that jumps out first on Loyal Soldiers Production’s Whats Up Riddim, but the whole juggling has that early-2000s dancehall snap, with Anthony B’s “Dance Thing, ” Cutty Ranks’ “Brush It Off, ” and Jah Mason’s “Divine and True” giving it proper range. The riddim sits in that gritty, forward-driving lane Loyal Soldiers were working around 2002 and 2003, when they were pairing big-name voices with streetwise, no-frills production rather than chasing polished crossover. That’s part of the appeal here: it feels like a label building a catalog through dependable clash-ready singles and conscious turns in equal measure. By the time you get to Determine’s “Bun Dem Hot” and Kulture Knox’s “Ghetto Children, ” it’s clear this one was made to move cleanly through sound system rotation.
