Born In The Famine Riddim – Xterminator

Born In The Famine Riddim came out in 1994 on Xterminator, produced by P. Burrell, with five cuts and a strong roots-conscious dancehall line-up led by Charlie Chaplin and Josey Wales, Lady G, Luciano, Jesse Jendah, Mikey General, and Sizzla. The title tune, Born In The Famine, pairs Luciano, Jesse Jendah, and Sizzla, while Sizzla’s Gun Ting Don’t Pay and Charlie Chaplin and Josey Wales’ Whole Heap A Corn are the other key selections. It sits right in the period when Philip Fatis Burrell was steering Xterminator toward a heavier, more conscious sound, and that direction is felt across the whole riddim.
