Beardman Shuffle Riddim – Taxi

Taxi’s Beardman Shuffle Riddim from 1996 brings a tight dancehall set centered by Beenie Man’s Foundation, with The Taxi Gang and Ansel Collins also cutting Beardman Shuffle (Live It Up). The riddim fits right into the Taxi camp’s polished late-’90s sound, with Sly and Robbie’s production touch giving it a clean, driving groove that still feels warm and rootsy. Alongside the vocal cuts, the instrumental edge helps the project stand out as a rare dancehall release that balances street energy with musicianship.
