Crazy Crazy Crazy Riddim – Various Artists

This one packs a 16-track, 12-artist cast into a pretty lively 2004 dancehall-reggae set, with the title track vibe running right through names like Anthony Cruz, Cecile, Sizzla, and Tanya Stephens. Anthony Cruz’s “Girls Gone Wild” and Sizzla’s “What You Doing With Yuh Life” give the riddim its sharper edge, while Tanya Stephens’ “Find Me At The Bar” leans into the cheekier side of the project. Diana King’s “Half Crazy” and Danny English’s “I Dont Care” help widen the mood, keeping it moving between flirtation, attitude, and street-level swagger. There are a few mystery cuts tucked in too, including “Finger Lickin” and “Going For The Food, ” which adds a slightly bootleg-era feel to the compilation. Released in 2004, it sits right in that period when one-riddim sets were flooding the dancehall and everyone was looking for the hookiest way to ride the same beat.
