Grumbler Riddim – Jammys Records

Grumbler Riddim was produced by Jammy’s Records in 1999 and brings together a strong late-90s dancehall lineup led by Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Leroy Sibbles, Linval Thompson, Ambelique and Ernest Wilson. The version list moves from Dennis Brown’s Give Me Your Love and Gregory Isaacs’ Miss Claude to Leroy Sibbles’ Turn It Up More and Linval Thompson’s Sight Gone, giving the rhythm a rootsy, singer-driven feel rather than a pure slack dancehall push. Jammy’s was already one of the defining Kingston labels of the digital era, and this set fits neatly into that legacy with veteran voices carrying the riddim across eight cuts.
