1997 dancehall meets a strong Vibes House lineup on Blackout Riddim, a 10-track juggling built around cuts from Beenie Man, Buju Banton, Delly Ranks, Devonte, General B, Tanto Metro and World-A-Girl. Beenie Man’s Nobody Knows and Buju Banton’s Loving Is A Thing are the big-name anchors, while Alley Cat’s S. E. X and Worl-A-Girl’s When You See Me help give the set extra personality. The riddim is credited to Vibes House and is tied to Patrick Roberts, one of the key names behind the label’s late-90s dancehall output. Compact and vocal-heavy, it captures that bright, street-ready 1997 sound with a mix of sharp deejay cuts and smoother singjay moments.
