Gangster Riddim – Sinbad Production

Sharp-edged and early-’90s to the bone, Gangster Riddim comes through as a compact Sinbad Production set with 11 cuts and no wasted space, moving from Anthony Malvo’s “All Fruits Ripe” into Anthony Red Rose’s title tune before leaning on names like Daddy Woody, Ed Robinson and Prilly Hamilton. The lineup ties the whole thing together, but Red Rose’s “The Gangster” is the clear anchor, a tune that helped give the riddim its identity beyond the usual dancehall pack-up. Captain Sinbad is credited on the core 1992 release, and the riddim also turns up in later listings under the name Gangster/Carnival, which is a neat sign of how the pattern kept circulating. 1992 Dancehall Riddims.
