Fly De Gate aka Smile Riddim is a 1993 Star Trail reggae set built on a lively, rootsy groove and packed with strong voices from the era. Beres Hammond’s Come Back Home, Garnett Silk’s Hello Mamma Africa, and Sugar Minott’s Smile anchor a 13-track line-up that also includes Courtney Melody, General Degree, Leroy Smart, and Yami Bolo. The riddim was issued as a various-artists compilation with 12 different artists across the tracklist, and Bionic Steve’s title tune gives it its nickname alongside Smile. Star Trail’s touch gives the release a classic early-’90s feel, with conscious songwriting and singjay energy sharing space throughout.
