Bitter Blood Riddim – Studio 2000

Bitter Blood Riddim is a 1999 Studio 2000 dancehall set produced by Steely and Clevie, with a sharp, hard-edged rhythm that pulls together some heavy names from the era. Beenie Man’s Bitter Mi Blood is the obvious anchor, while Capleton’s Stay Far From Trouble, Burru Banton’s One For The Money, and the Elephant Man and Harry Toddler combination on War War War keep the energy moving. Lady Saw, Ghost, Lexxus, Mr Vegas, Red Rat, and Merciless all add strong versions, giving the riddim plenty of range without losing its rough street feel. Studio 2000 was one of Steely and Clevie’s key ventures, and this release sits right in the middle of the pair’s run of influential dancehall productions.
