Arab Riddim (1994) – Border Clash

Arab Riddim – Border Clash is a 1994 dancehall release produced by Paul Bartley and N. McNamee for Border Clash, with Skull Man handling the vocal sides on Competition and Sneeze alongside the Arab Instrumental cut. It’s a short three-track set, but the two Skull Man tunes carry the session and give the riddim its character. Bartley also appears on the instrumental, which helps tie the package together and gives the release a more direct producer-led feel. Built as a tight mid-’90s yard beat, Arab Riddim has that raw Border Clash energy that made these compact dancehall sets work so well.
