Big Nail Riddim – Stone Love 1996

Stone Love’s Big Nail Riddim dates to 1996 and pulls together a strong Dancehall lineup with Alley Cat, Daddy Lizard, Frankie Paul, General B, Hawkeye, Louie Culture, Tanya Stephens, Tony Curtis, General Degree, and more. The cut is especially remembered for Tanya Stephens’ Short Wuck, Tony Curtis and General Degree’s Big Nail, and the version itself, which keeps the juggling tight and direct. Stone Love Movement was one of the defining dancehall sounds of the era, and this juggling shows that late-90s selector energy with a mix of singjay style, hardcore deejay cuts, and a few melodic pieces like Frankie Paul’s Medley and Louie Culture’s Bless The Morning.
