Henry Lawes, Hyman Wright and Percy Chin teamed up on Dance Hall Style for BTR and Jah Life in 1984, a four-track rootsy dancehall cut from the early digital-to-early-dancehall crossover years. Frankie Paul leads the set with Dance Hall Style and D And G, while Major Worries’ Bawl Fe Serve and Scion Success’ Crying Time round out the lineup with that rough, stripped-back sound the era is known for. It’s a compact release that captures the lean, sound-system-ready feel of mid-’80s Jamaican production, with Frankie Paul’s voice giving the riddim its most recognisable pull.
