RUN IT
Core Definition
Command given to the operator to play the track, start the riddim, or let the bass roll on the sound system.
[ Comprehensive Explanation & Cultural Context ]
The phrase 'run it' is a direct cue from the selector or MC to the audio operator (who controls the preamp and mixing desk). It instructs them to start the turntable, open the channel fader, and release the music. It is a sign of coordination between the crew members during live improvisation in the session.
