Def Hies Riddim – Gargamel Music

Def Hies Riddim – Gargamel Music comes from 1999 and features six cuts from Buba, Buju Banton, Duckman, Jah Mali, and Saba Tooth, with Buju’s Gay Gwaan Rights among the best-known songs on the set. Gargamel Music, Buju Banton’s label imprint, kept the lineup tight here, pairing conscious and street-level lyrics with a clean, driving reggae groove. Jah Mali’s Until and Buba’s Run Dem Out also help give the riddim its character, while the version closes the sequence in classic style. The whole release has a focused late-90s feel, and its short tracklist makes the instrumental easy to follow.
