Cuss Cuss Riddim (1997) – Shocking Vibes

Released in 1997, Cuss Cuss Riddim comes through on Shocking Vibes with a tight four-track vocal set from Alkatraz, Beekle Baily, Tanya Stephens, and Tru Blacks. The lineup keeps the rhythm moving with Better Days, Jah Alone, Big Heavy Gal, and High Grade, giving the riddim a compact, focused feel rather than a long compilation. Tanya Stephens’ Big Heavy Gal is the clear highlight here, while Alkatraz and the others add different shades to the same foundation. Shocking Vibes, the Patrick Roberts camp, was already a major force in dancehall by the late ’90s, and this set sits neatly in that era’s polished, hook-driven sound.
