Money Money Riddim – Jammys Records 1997
Money Money Overview
The dub cut on the Money Money Riddim brings a deep, rolling groove that feels both classic and fresh. The rhythm is steady and hypnotic, with basslines that echo the roots of reggae. The sound is stripped back, letting each instrument breathe and the echo effects give the riddim a spacious, relaxed vibe. This compilation highlights strong performances from some of reggae and dancehall’s well-known voices. Chuck Fender delivers “Jah Jah” with his signature conscious lyrics. Junior Cat brings his sharp deejay style to “Cant Nam Mi Out,” showing why he’s respected in the dancehall scene. Ken Boothe’s “It Hurts” stands out for its soulful delivery; Boothe is famous for his 1974 UK number one hit “Everything I Own,” and his presence here adds a foundation sound to the riddim. King Kong’s “Break Down The Walls” brings a rootsy energy, while Queen Paula & Lady Mackeral team up for “True Love,” adding a lively back-and-forth that lifts the compilation. Each artist brings their own flavor, making the riddim feel like a true collaboration. The roots selector’s role in this release is to blend these voices and tunes, keeping the energy flowing from one track to the next. The dub version keeps the 1997 reggae spirit alive, mixing vintage vibes with new ideas and ensuring the riddim remains memorable for years.
