Declaration Of Rights Riddim brings together a wide spread of roots and dancehall cuts across various labels, with the original 1976 foundation tied to Coxsone Dodd and The Abyssinians’ classic “Declaration of Rights” in the mix. The selection runs from foundational voices like Burning Spear, Cocoa Tea, and Al Campbell to later updates from Anthony B, Admiral Tibet, Chezidek, and Burro Banton, while Big Joe’s “Rights Of Version” adds the instrumental touch. Roy Cousins, Bunny Striker Lee, Bobby Digital, Gussie P, and others all appear in the production history behind this riddim, which has been revisited many times since its first appearance. It’s a deep, cross-era showcase that moves from rootsy meditation to tougher modern combinations without losing the sober, heavy pulse of the original rhythm.
