Reminiscent of Fiddy’s early breakout<\/a> track, the mighty Macka Diamond<\/a> — of you nuh ready<\/a><\/em> fame — shakes down the dancehall pantheon to hilarious effect on her new jam “Robbery” —<\/p>\n

You may notice that the riddim propelling Macka D’s stealing spree sounds a little familiar. That’s because it’s basically the Martial Arts<\/a>, released by Kings of Kings in 2001. Now, just 7 years later, dancehall stylee has come around such that Scatta<\/a> could give it a minimal relick and make it sound absolutely contemporary. Gotta love di riddim meth0d! <\/p>\n

Which raises the question: is it robbery to rip off oneself?<\/p>\n
