This one from Baby G’s Yard Vybz label was more a sleeper riddim than a runaway hit but delivered some nice energy. Alkaline continued his stronghold with a tune for all the fake friends and badmind (still a popular theme in dancehall) while Popcaan, Bugle and Beenie Man all voice something for the lovers. You can’t deny a solid guitar-laden dancehall riddim, with this one hitting in a similar vein to the popular Tweety Bird riddim that ran a ton of mixes this year. Nice and easy vibes. – Deejay Theory
