Diligent Overview

In 1994, Gussie P Records released the Diligent Riddim compilation, which quickly became a favorite in dancehall sessions that year. The label, founded by producer Gussie P, is known for its strong roots in UK reggae and dancehall. Gussie P has built a reputation for quality productions and has worked with many respected artists in the genre. The recording process for Diligent Riddim focused on clean, vibrant sounds that would work well in clubs and on sound systems. Gussie P’s attention to detail made sure each track had a tight, danceable rhythm while keeping the overall flow smooth from start to finish. On this compilation, Chucky Star brings his unique style to the track Trust Ina Him. Chucky Star is well known for his steady presence in UK reggae, often praised for his conscious lyrics. Top Cat adds his signature voice to Peace, a song that shows why he is remembered for hits like Request the Style, which reached UK reggae charts in the 1990s. Sweetie Irie & Mike Anthony come together on Jump Up, blending Sweetie Irie’s dancehall energy—he later gained wider attention with the Gorillaz collaboration “Clint Eastwood (Ed Case/Sweetie Irie Refix)”—and Mike Anthony’s smooth delivery. Together, these artists helped shape the bashment rhythm of Diligent Riddim, making it a staple in 1994’s dancehall playlists.
