Entertainment produced by Jah Thomas, Nkrumah Thomas, Computer Paul, Howard Hull for Midnight Rock, Boot Camp, Pown Daddy in 1981
Entertainment Riddim comes from Midnight Rock, Boot Camp and Pown Daddy, produced by Jah Thomas, Nkrumah Thomas, Computer Paul and Howard Hull in 1981. The set pulls together a wide spread of voices across the same foundation, with Triston Palmer’s Entertainment, Jah Thomas’ Friday Night Jamboree, Jah Thomas and Toyan’s Two Bad DJ Haffi Talk, and Anthony Johnson’s Strictly Rub A Dub among the better-known cuts. It also leans into a tougher early-dancehall feel through versions like Elfigo Bacca’s Dance Hall Ram and Singie Singie’s Big Bout Ya, while later additions from Al Campbell, Sizzla, Anthony B and George Nooks keep the riddim in circulation across different eras. The release’s identity comes from that mix of classic 1980s cuts and later recuts, with Jah Thomas right at the center as both producer and artist.
