Dutty Boot Riddim – 1998 – Jamdown

Released in 1998 on Jamdown, Dutty Boot Riddim pulls together a compact dancehall-heavy set with 18 tracks and 20 artists, including early Sean Paul on Dream, Dream, Dream, plus Lady Saw on Mr. Bend, Cutty Ranks on Remember When, and the Singing Melody and Cutty Ranks pairing on Set You Free. The selection also runs through Zeno, Scare Dem Crew, Mega Banton, Nadine Sutherland and Delly Ranks, Tanto Metro, and Terror Fabulous, giving the rhythm a broad late-90s lineup with plenty of crossover appeal. The riddim is commonly tied to Computer Paul’s production work, and its lone mega mix cut helps frame it as a proper showcase rather than just a straight singles run.
