Assassinat Riddim – Mek It Happen

Assassinat Riddim hits with that early-2000s French-Caribbean dancehall edge Mek It Happen was pushing hard at the time, all sharp synth lines, tough percussion and a militant bounce that suits the title. Lord Kossity gets the deepest run here, with “Assassinat” and “Good Body Gal (Original Version)” showing both the rude-boy posture and the smoother, more radio-friendly side of the riddim, while Daddy Mory’s “Javel Man” stays close to the streetwise energy that made the project click. General Levy and Spragga Benz also fit neatly into the mix, giving the set a wider international feel without softening the attack. The label itself was coming up fast in 2001, and this is one of the releases that helped establish Mek It Happen as a serious one-riddim outfit.
