Duppy Gun's 'Flip Top Riddim' Will Send You to Dub Paradise

The track has Sun Ra–grade synths and enough chill goodness to make the hairs on your nugs stand on end.

I don't smoke enough weed to be a dancehall enthusiast, but even as a novice puffer I can appreciate the sentiment of kicking back on a futon that has half slid down its frame and bumping Sister Nancy while my girlfriend crafts us a masterful spliff. I get a lot of emails with song premiere options, but not many of them are roots reggae. And of the few reggae songs I do get, most of them are supremely awful. This one from the Duppy Gun label was a nice surprise.

"Flip Top Riddim" is a dub daydream. The sparse production is punctuated by funky electronics, Sun Ra–grade synths, and enough chill goodness to make the hairs on your nugs stand on end. It's a great track regardless of your level of sobriety—take it from the weed plebe.
