‘Yes we nice, yes we nice… Hold them, music, hold them, yes, we control them… no we nah go let them stray.’ Dancehall manners — on the rhythm Delgado used for Rasta People — as clinically murderous as all-time EJ hits for Jammys like Rock Them One By One and Turn Up The Heat.
A hollowed-out, minor-chord rhythm… SB bubbling moodily about ‘if you’re having a problem and you don’t know to solve them, down the road there is a party’... a stripped, brilliant dub.
Classic Jammys from 1987.
Tough Jammys do-over of Cuss Cuss, with dangerous bass and banging dub, and Junior in no mood for messing. ‘Galong before we chop off your hand.’
Top-notch digi sufferers from 1987. Plenty of Dennis in Leroy’s singing.
The return of Ramon Judah (from the first ever Tuff Scout).
Startling digi do-over of Yabby You’s great Jesus Dread rhythm, with a driving, tumping dub and sermonizing keys. Mis-credited to Phillip Fraser on the label.
Horatian worries on the wicked E20 rhythm.
Brute of a Shaka stomper.
Excellent uptempo digi, with burning horns and a decent dub. No sitar and tablas, unfortunately.
