Billie Jean Riddim – Digital B

Billie Jean Riddim on Digital B dates to 1992 and pulls together a tight dancehall set with Bounty Killer and Nitty Kutchie on Go Away, Lieutenant Stitchie on Sentence Fi Dawn, Sanchez on Can We Talk and My Sweet Thing, Shinehead on several cuts, plus Garnett Silk and Sizzla adding some of the strongest conscious moments. The riddim is especially notable for mixing hardcore dancehall with soulful crossover touches, and Bless Me stands out as one of the key selections. Robert “Bobby Digital” Dixon’s production gives it that crisp early-’90s Digital B sound, and the lineup shows how strong his ear was for pairing a slick digital groove with artists who could carry both style and message.
