Gone Against Riddim

GONE AGAINST RIDDIM 2003

Gone Against Riddim sits in the thick of 2003 dancehall’s grimy, no-nonsense era, and the cut listed here points to a 12-song spread with 12 different voices, including Augusta’s “Stupidity, ” Lady Apache’s “Talkers, ” Jason Benn’s “Vanity, ” and Ziggy Ranking’s “Not Ready. ” The biggest pull is the mix of solo chants and pairings — Pelf turns up three times, including “Pms, ” while “Chicken Head” and “Jook Meh Down” bring in De Rusty Voice Crew and Jamel for a little extra chatter around the main groove. It’s the kind of riddim that feels made for sharp-tongued street commentary, with titles that already tell you the tone is confrontational and cheeky rather than sweet. As indexed here, it lands in 2003 and carries 12 total tracks across the set.
