Dirty Riddim – Gargamel

Dirty Riddim – Gargamel is a 2001 dancehall riddim headlined by Buju Banton, with Elephant Man stepping in for the more extroverted moment on Xtra Xrated. The lineup also swings through Chuck Fender’s Kick Of Dem Face, Hot Shot Crew’s See And Blind, Kiprich and Singer J on the groove with Sexy Body, and Risto Benjie’s Woman Dem, while Ian 2 Teetimus closes things with Dirty Riddim (Version). Across the vocals, the Gargamel production gives you that tight, aggressive riddim feel that was made for fast toasting and crowd-ready pressure, and it’s easy to hear why Buju’s Click Click Stick became the calling-card in the set.
