Ghetto Cry Riddim Aka Flava Riddim – Mawga Man

Produced by Mawga Man in 1997, Ghetto Cry Riddim Aka Flava Riddim is a six-track dancehall juggling that brings together Chaingang Crew, Lion Face, Mawga Man, Scare Dem Crew, Short Wes, and Tanya Stephens. Tanya Stephens’ My Type is the best-known cut here, while tracks like Scare Dem Crew’s Hot Gyal and Lion Face’s Ghetto Cry help define the set’s rough late-90s bashment feel. Mawga Man’s own Flava sits right in the middle of the rhythm and gives the project its alternate name, with the whole release leaning into a raw, streetwise sound that fits the era’s harder dancehall style.
