The selection is rounded by VolkanikMan, Don Sharicon and the belgian fast chatting master deejay General Good. The riddim itself revives the old sound of the early 90ies once again and combines them with modern drum and synth sounds and thus creates a vibe for lovers of old and new dancehall likewise.
Dragon Stout
