Fattie Fattie Riddim brings together a long run of versions across multiple labels and producers, with the post pointing back to a 1966 foundation and names like Coxsone Dodd, Joe Gibbs, Harry J, Steely and Clevie, Maurice Johnson, and others in the mix. The selection stretches from early roots-era cuts to later revivals, with Beres Hammond, Big Youth, Bobby Melody, Doreen Shaffer, and Cedric Brooks and David Madden among the featured names, while the classic Heptones cut sits at the heart of the rhythm’s history. It’s a broad, cross-era showcase built around one of reggae’s most reused basslines, moving from vintage Studio One energy into later dancehall and dubwise updates with plenty of vocal variety.
