Gum Riddim – Cell Block 321

1995 dancehall’s Gum Riddim from Cell Block 321 pulls together Fabby Dolly’s Mr Wicked Man, Flourgon’s Calling Out Mi Name, Frankie Sly’s Looking Right and Silver Cat’s Gum on a tough, bare-bones rhythm that keeps the focus on the artists. The riddim sits in the same Cell Block Crew lane that also surfaced Alley Cat and Don Yute cuts around the period, and it stands out as a rare mid-90s dancehall pull with a tight, compact lineup rather than a long various-artist spread. Silver Cat’s title track gives the project its name, while Flourgon adds extra weight with one of the more memorable performances on the set.
