4 Season Lover Riddim Aka Fresh Riddim – Jammys Records

With more than 60 cuts tied to it, 4 Season Lover Riddim — also known as Fresh Riddim and Hol A Spliff Riddim — is one of those Jammy’s patterns that kept circling through dancehall for decades, starting in 1987 and turning up again in later versions. The lineup moves from Admiral Bailey’s “X-Rated Country” and Admiral Tibet’s “No Time Waste” through Beenie Man, Buju Banton, Capleton and Buccaneer, so you get a cross-section of the era rather than a single mood. King Jammy’s original cut has that lean, cut-and-dry digital feel he was pushing hard in the mid-to-late ’80s: sharp drum programming, a dry skank, and a bassline that sits low and steady instead of wandering. It’s the kind of riddim that leaves plenty of room for the deejays, and the tempo stays clipped enough to keep the vocal attack front and centre.
