Gum Riddim (1994) – Main Street Records

1994’s Gum Riddim from Main Street Records pulls together a lively dancehall set with Captain Willy, Clement Irie, Daddy Lizard, Flourgon, General Degree, Papa San, Junior Tucker, Macka B, Mad Cobra and more riding the same groove. The line-up mixes singjay energy, party cuts and a few playful responses, with tracks like You Have To Cum, Herbs Fi Smoke, Gal Yu Sexy and the General Degree/Papa San combo Granny Granny Cry giving the riddim plenty of personality. Riddim-ID also places Captain Willy’s cut on The Gum in 1992 under Main Street, which lines up with the release’s early-90s dancehall feel and Danny Browne’s connection to the label. It’s a compact, bass-heavy slice of the era with enough name value and cheeky song titles to keep it memorable.
