Arizona Riddim – Colin Fat Records

Arizona Riddim came out on Colin Fat Records in 1999 and pulls together five straight dancehall cuts from Elephant Man, Ghost, Merciless, Roundhead, and General B. The set moves from Elephant Man’s Put It Deh So and Ghost’s Man A Man to Merciless’s All The Way, with General B’s Weed Head and Roundhead’s Want From Me rounding out the tracklist. Colin Fat, the label tied to producer Colin “Fatta” Walters, was already a familiar name in late-’90s dancehall, and this one lands right in that era’s sharp, vocal-heavy style. With just five voices riding the riddim, Arizona keeps the focus tight and gives Merciless and General B the clearest spotlight.
