Family Affair Riddim – Fat Eyes Records

Produced by Fat Eyes Records in 1997, Family Affair Riddim is a compact dancehall set that pulls together six cuts with a strong roots-to-rub-a-dub mix of voices. Capleton leads with King Is A King, while Lady Saw’s Deh Back Ah Yard, Future Troubles’ Ain’t No Stoppin, and Yami Bolo’s What’s Going On give the rhythm plenty of range. Elephant Man also shows up alongside Cheville Franklin on There No Feeling, adding an early glimpse of the energy that would soon define his run. Fat Eyes, the Lynford Marshall and Bulby York imprint out of Jamaica, has long been known for sharp, artist-heavy juggling selections, and this one fits that mold with a tight lineup and memorable crossover appeal.
