Darker Shade Of Black Riddim (Reggae Version)

1990 reggae found a strong showcase on Darker Shade Of Black Riddim (Reggae Version), with Beenie Man and Jack Radics teaming up on By Gones, Dennis Brown delivering Yagga Yagga, and Freddie McGregor turning in Not Giving Up On You. The selection leans more toward singer-style reggae than hard dancehall, which gives the set a smooth, melodic feel while still keeping the rhythm central. Darker Shade Of Black is one of those enduring roots-era foundations that kept resurfacing across different labels and eras, and this version uses its warmth and swing to good effect.
