Gangstalee Riddim / Ole Punk Riddim – Mixing Lab

Gangstalee Riddim, also known as Ole Punk Riddim, is a 1996 Mixing Lab production put together by Aidan Jones on East Coast. The five-song set keeps a tight roster, with General Pecos on Wicked Man Dwell, Major Lee on Same Ole Punk, Simpleton on Death Before Dishonor, Spragga Benz on All Alone, and Tanya Stephens on Gangsta Girl. Spragga Benz and Tanya Stephens give the riddim extra pull, while the title track energy comes through in the tougher, streetwise tone of the cut names. It’s a short release, but the lineup carries a strong mid-90s dancehall feel and reflects the kind of punchy work Aidan Jones was putting out for East Coast at the time.

1. General Pecos – Wicked Man Dwell
