Hard Influence Riddim – Platinum Power

Hard Influence Riddim is a lean two-track platter from Platinum Power, and the focus stays squarely on Capleton’s firebrand style. “Brimstone, ” cut with Fiery, leads the set with militant energy, while “Affi Get Dem” keeps the pressure on in solo mode, so the whole release feels more like a sharp showcase than a full-blown compilation. It sits in the 2002 reggae-riddim listings, though the notes point to a 2001 production credit, which is common enough with these early-2000s Jamaican releases. Platinum Power would later turn up again on related “Platinum Power” and “Hard Influence” listings, but here the package is stripped down to just two cuts. The tracklist runs Capleton and Fiery – “Brimstone” and Capleton – “Affi Get Dem. ”
