Consignment Riddim – Black Scorpio

Produced by Black Scorpio in 1990, Consignment Riddim gathers a strong early-90s dancehall lineup with Chevelle Franklyn, Commander Shad, General Trees, Gregory Isaacs, Gregory Peck, Junior Demus, Little Twitch, Shabba Ranks, and John Mouse. The set leans on the darker, driving Black Scorpio sound, and the Gregory Isaacs cut So In Love With You is one of the key pulls, alongside Left In Dark and Left In The Dark from Chevelle Franklyn and Shabba Ranks. Black Scorpio, the long-running label and sound system run by Maurice “Jack Scorpio” Johnson, helped shape a lot of Jamaican dancehall through this era, and this rhythm is a good snapshot of that period.
