Gal A Pepper Riddim – Big Yard

Produced by Big Yard in 1995, Gal A Pepper Riddim is a compact dancehall set with just three tunes, featuring Cutty Ranks on Wicked Plan, Shaggy on Gal Yu A Pepper, and Simpleton on June. It captures that sharp mid-’90s digital-era sound and leans on a tight lineup rather than a long list, with Shaggy’s Gal Yu A Pepper and Cutty Ranks’ Wicked Plan standing out as the key cuts. Big Yard would later become closely associated with Shaggy, and this early riddim already shows the label working with some of dancehall’s most recognizable voices.
