Bad Boy Skank Riddim – Hipower Music

Bad Boy Skank Riddim was produced by Hipower Music in 1990 and keeps things tight with just three voiced cuts from Nitty Gritty, Super C, and Junior Demus. The set includes Nitty Gritty’s Ready Dunn, Super C’s Bad Boy, and Junior Demus’s No Man No Bad, making it a compact showcase for the riddim rather than a big multi-artist compilation. The release is also listed in connection with High Power/Highpower in later databases, which points to the same early-’90s dancehall circle around the production. Junior Demus is the name most closely linked to the riddim here, but Nitty Gritty’s cut gives the package an extra bit of foundation-era weight.
