Boom Riddim (1996) – Adex Records

Adex Records’ Boom Riddim landed in 1996 as a five-track dancehall set anchored by Capleton, Lexxus, Sean Paul, Shabba Ranks, and Sizzla. The lineup runs from Capleton’s Batty Man Fi Get Boom and Sean Paul’s Gun Speech to Shabba Ranks’ Fuck Dem and Sizzla’s Bumrush, with Lexxus adding Give It To Them to round out the project. It’s a compact late-’90s dancehall session with a heavy speaker-friendly cut and a strong mix of veteran voices and rising names.
