Boom Bye Bye Riddim – Shang Music

Boom Bye Bye Riddim from Shang Music dates to 1993 and gathers ten reggae cuts in one tightly packed set, with Buju Banton’s Boom Bye Bye as the best-known tune and strong support from Mad Cobra, Papa San, Red Dragon, Terry Ganzie, Wayne Wonder, and others. The lineup also includes Alton Black’s Sexual Healing, General T. K. ’s I Spy, and Glen Ricks’ Been So Long, giving the rhythm a mix of style and attitude across the roster. Buju’s song had already become one of his defining early records by then, and Mad Cobra’s Flex adds another notable touch to the session. Built on a hard, memorable groove, the riddim captures that sharp early-90s dancehall energy Shang Music was putting out at the time.
