Black Gun Riddim – Rockers

Black Gun produced by Augustus Pablo for Rockers in 1974

Produced by Augustus Pablo for Rockers in 1974, Black Gun Riddim pulls together a small but striking set of his own cuts alongside voices like Hugh Mundell, Jacob Miller, and U Brown. The sequence includes Black Gun, Brown Jim, Keep On Dubbing, and Knocking Version, with Book Of Life and Keep On Knocking adding to the heavier roots-and-dub feel. The riddim is a version of Hypocrites and sits right in Pablo’s early-1970s Rockers run, where the melodica-led, echo-heavy sound and clipped instrumentation became part of his signature.
