Filthy Riddim – Main Street

FILTHY RIDDIM produced by D. JUVENILE and H. BROWNE for MAIN STREET RECORDS

Filthy Riddim came out in 1998 on Main Street Records, produced by Danny Browne and D. Juvenile, and it sits squarely in that hard-edged late-’90s dancehall pocket built on Hopeton Lewis’s Take It Easy guitar lick. The set pulls in a strong lineup with Beenie Man, Buccaneer, Lady Saw, Mr. Vegas, Red Rat, Spragga Benz, and others, with Traffic Blocking, Heads High, Let Him Go, and She Nuh Ready Yet among the better-known cuts. Red Rat’s presence is especially tied to the riddim’s famous ad-libs, which helped give the rhythm its cartoonish, instantly recognizable character.
