Drake Riddim – Heavy Dee

Drake Riddim – Heavy Dee is a 1995 dancehall set produced by Heavy D, with seven tracks from seven artists and a sharp mix of mid-90s ragga energy and singjay style. Determine opens with Why A Ghetto Gal, while Frisco Kid’s Goodas Girl, General B’s Well Den, and Mad Cobra’s Nah Treat Her help give the rhythm its edge, alongside cuts from Earl Smith Junior, Matlock, and Wickerman. The project is credited to Earl Smith Jr. in some listings, but it’s more widely tied to Heavy Dee and sits among his early dancehall productions. One of the more notable things about this riddim is that every song carries its own title, which gives the release a loose, almost compilation-like feel.
