Big Tunes w/ Undercover

It's been a while - busy, busy! A big thanks for all the loyal followers as I have now reached over 300,000 hits! This month we have some killer new riddims, plus some oldies (request of Bonx It Pon Me). There seems to be a big comeback of 90's dancehall vocalists and sound in these riddims with Bushman, Bunny General, Pad Anthony and Macka B all dusting off there mic's and showing the yutes how it's done. A bunch of relicks too with Skarra, Raphael, Busy Signal all re-interperating classic riddims. We also have some new digital biz from Riddim Tuffa with a big Brother Culture tune and the Dreadsquad album is still on high rotation for me. We finish up with some New Zealand produced dancehall with Caldhino trying to emulate Popcaan's No1 success on a Highstakes production and Yung Shottaz member Max and Hamilton lad (and honorary Yung Shottaz member (lol)) Raiza teaming up with import Jah Red Lion on their new free ep.
