A dozen cuts and a stacked cast give this Gunshot Riddim the feel of a proper gunman exercise, with Anthony Johnson’s title track, Linval Thompson’s “Gun Talk, ” and Philip Frazer’s “Morning Mr. Officer” setting the tone. The riddim first surfaced on Midnight Rock in 1982, which helps explain the heavy late-sound-system energy running through it. You get the message hammered home from different angles too, from Jah Thomas’ “Lyrics For Sale” to Michael Palmer’s seasonal twist on “Happy Merry Christmas, ” so the sequence keeps circling the same theme without getting stale. Ending on “Gun Fe Puh Dungh” by Roots Radics and Midnight Rock C feels like the producer knew exactly how to close the circle.
