African Beat Riddim came out on Fat Eyes in 1996 and pulls together a deep dancehall cast around a bright, driving groove. Beenie Man’s Come Back Darling, Buju Banton’s Love Sponge, Beres Hammond’s Give Me A Break, and Capleton and Yami Bolo’s Put Down Your Weapon are among the best-known cuts, with support from Admiral Bailey, Anthony B, Baby Wayne and Power Man, Sanchez, Singing Melody, Nardo Ranks, Culture Lion, and Terror Fabulous. It’s the kind of mid-90s riddim that balances hard-edged dancehall energy with a few smoother voices, and Fat Eyes gives it the polished, hooky feel the label was known for in that era.
