Cordless Riddim – Vipers

Vipers produced Cordless Riddim in 1996, a lean dancehall set that pairs Chuck Fender’s Weed Head with Mega Banton’s Bedroom Roundabout before closing on the Cordless version. The release is short, with just three tracks, but it captures that mid-’90s ragga energy well, and Vipers is also linked to other 1996 cuts for both Chuck Fender and Mega Banton. Chuck Fender was still early in his career here, while Mega Banton already had the sharp delivery and streetwise style that made him a familiar name on dancehall sessions of the era.
