Good Living Riddim – Finatic Records

Produced by Finatic Records in 1999, Good Living Riddim brings together a compact but wide-ranging dancehall lineup with hard-edged cuts from Capleton, Lady Saw, Tanya Stephens, Cobra, Pinchers, and others. The set moves from conscious and party-minded songs to tougher badman themes, with standout tracks like Capleton’s Badman Knowledge, Lady Saw’s Feel Like Working, and Tanya Stephens’ Fag Inna Closet helping define the mood. Honorebel’s title cut Good Living sits alongside Bumba Ranks’ Stop The War and Junie Ranks’ Fake It, giving the rhythm both attitude and contrast. Finatic keeps the production tight and direct, and the mix of established names with lesser-known voices gives the release the feel of a busy late-’90s juggling built for sound system play.
