Craze Riddim (1997) – Rude Boy

Craze Riddim – Rude Boy is a tight 1998 dancehall set from Rude Boy, with just two cuts carried by Shad Du’s Dem Bow Bow and Tanto Metro’s Amen. The compact structure gives the riddim a quick, no-frills feel, with both artists locking into the same groove instead of spreading it across a big lineup. Patrick Roberts is credited behind the production, and his name turns up on both tracks. Shad Du and Tanto Metro were both active voices in the late-’90s dancehall run, and this release captures that era in a short, focused form.
