Once Gyptian‘s “Hold Yuh” became the biggest crossover dancehall tune of 2010, it was only a matter of time before people started flipping the track and throwing new vocals over the song’s distinctive piano riff. The folks at Dutty Artz first tipped us to “Abrazame,” the Los Rakas version which finds the Oakland-based Panamanian dancehall prodigies wistfully singing and rapping en español. That was all well and good, but than Brooklyn beatmaker Uproot Andy sent us his remix of “Abrazame,” which punches up the beat, nicely layers in some additional synths and percussion, and basically seizes a spot in the “Summer Jams 2010” playlist. If this lovelorn tune isn’t on blast at your local Latin dance party, find yourself a new spot, because the DJs are seriously slipping.
