Cymbal Riddim – Cj Records

Cymbal, also known as the Skettel Riddim, is a 1999 CJ Records dancehall release that pulls together 11 cuts from a strong late-’90s lineup, with 10 different artists riding the same driving groove. Ward 21 open with Mr. Fassy and return for Skettel Holocaust, while Lexxus brings Straight Up, Admiral Bailey delivers What Time Is It, and standout appearances from Alley Cat, Angel Doolas, Galaxy P, Powerman, Passion X, Dutty Cup Crew, and Elephant Man keep the set lively. The riddim is compact but varied, moving from tougher DJ-style songs to more playful, crowd-ready tunes, and it reflects the sharp, street-level energy CJ Records was putting out at the time.
