Golden Tree Riddim – Gargamel Music

Golden Tree Riddim keeps the lineup lean with just three voiced cuts and the instrumental, which suits the kind of sharp, no-frills dancehall Gargamel Music was putting out in 2008. Buju Banton’s “You Ago Happen” has the kind of authority you expect from him, while Delly Ranx’s “Stamina” leans into a tougher, more streetwise bounce. New Kidz adds “Flavor, ” and that cut matters too, especially since he was already working under Buju’s Gargamel imprint by then. The riddim itself is dated August 19, 2008 in later digital listings, which lines up with that late-2000s run of compact, artist-focused projects coming out of the label.
