like a lot of Equiknoxx, this is a little overproduced but still pretty great, Charly Black "Bike Back"

Daniel Esq just nominated the Kartel track on this riddim, which reminded me I've been meaning to post this Christopher Martin version:

Large Up's top 10 riddims of the year:
1. Boom Box2. Happy Hour3. Gwaan Bad4. Promiscuous5. The Good Book6. Wul Dem7. Rvssian8. Greatest Creation9. Nuh Fraid10. Work Permit
Leans a little too hard on 90s-ish throwback stuff, but some good stuff there. They've got albums, mixtapes, and soca lists too, with the dancehall tracks one presumably to come.

And here's that track list:
2/1. Spice -- “Like A Man”/”So Mi Like It”3. Popcaan -- “Everything Nice” (Remix feat. Mavado)5/4. Vybz Kartel -- “Miami Vice Episode”/”Do Di Maths (Wah Do You?)”6. Kranium -- “Nobody Has To Know”7. Popcaan -- “Where We Come From”8. I-Octane -- “Wi Bad”9. Major Lazer feat. Sean Paul -- “Come On To Me”10. Alkaline -- “Gyal Bruk Out” 11. Aidonia -- “80s Dancehall Style”12. Assassin -- "Sekkle and Cease"13. Vybz Kartel featuring J Capri -- “Mamacita”14. Gully Bop aka Countryman -- “Body Specialist”
obviously pleased at that 1/2 tie for Spice. kind of surprised they've got three cuts on the Boom Box riddim on here, but that's a lot more interesting than their kinda boring predilection for anything retro.
