Gun Talk Riddim – Shellys Records

Gun Talk Riddim is a 1991 dancehall set from Shelly’s Records that pulls together a compact 10-track lineup with 11 artists across the riddim, leaning hard into gunman style themes. Junior Cat’s Trailer load a gun, Junior Demus’s Easy nuh man, Nardo Ranks’ Love mi gun bad, and Papa San’s Gun are among the sharpest cuts, while General Brains, Louie Ranking, Medallion, and the Mikey Merican and Nando Boom combination add extra range. The project also features Nando Boom on Soy un hombre cimple and Phillip Famous and Sniper on Bounty hunter, giving it a broad 90s dancehall feel. Built around Shelly’s Records’ early-era output, it captures the tougher side of the period with a straightforward, vocal-heavy structure.
