Cut Eye Riddim (1997) – Jahfa Production

Cut Eye Riddim by Jahfa Production captures a 1997 dancehall set with a compact, straight-to-the-point lineup led by Idle Jubbie and Macka Beard on Cut Eye, plus Mega Banton on Midnight Attraction, Michael Buckley on Winding Machine, and Professor Nuts on Di Gal Tan Good. The riddim is also listed as Winding Machine, and the Jahfa production credit is tied to C. Powell and G. McLaughlin, which helps place it in that late-90s ragga era. Mega Banton’s cut gives the release an immediate edge, while Professor Nuts adds a lighter, more playful counterpoint. It’s a short but memorable selection of four versions that keeps the focus on the rhythm itself and the artists’ different approaches.
