Yellow Monkies Riddim

Kingston’s 2009 dancehall run had a lot of lean, local one-riddim sets like this, and Yellow Monkies fits that moment with just three cuts: Tifa’s “Sick, ” Tok’s “We Are, ” and the instrumental version. Tifa is the one most people will home in on here, especially since her name is the clearest anchor on the tracklist, but the sequence keeps the focus on the riddim itself rather than crowding it with voices. There’s no long roll call, no extra dub plates, just the two vocals and the bare version closing it out. Yellow Monkies Riddim is listed as a 2009 dancehall release with three total tracks.
