Barbershop Riddim, also known as Baba Riddim, was produced by Free Willy Records in 2003 and lines up a strong early-2000s dancehall cast. Beenie Man and Ghost turn up twice with Be A Friend and Friend To We, while Vybz Kartel, Capleton, Buju Banton, Tony Curtis, and Mad Cobra each bring a different angle to the rhythm. The cut has that lively, street-level energy from the era, with a simple version tucked in at the end and a mix that leans on sharp vocal hooks rather than heavy embellishment. Free Willy was active in Jamaica at the time and had a solid run of straight dancehall releases around this period.
