Give Me Power Riddim comes from Lee Scratch Perry’s Upsetter camp and is pegged to 1971, with a short but sharp lineup that includes I-Roy, King Iwah The 1st, The Stingers, The Upsetter and The 3rd and 4th Generation, and The Upsetters themselves. The set hangs on the Give Me Power rhythm, with cuts like Give Me Power, More Power, and Double Power, so the identity of the release is tied to that same heavy, stripped-down groove being voiced in a few different ways. Perry’s production gives it that early-70s Jamaican edge, and the presence of both I-Roy and The Upsetters helps anchor it as a classic roots-era showcase rather than a loose compilation.
