Hard Nut To Crack Riddim – Mad Doc Records

Hard Nut To Crack Riddim is a 1999 dancehall juggling from Mad Doc Records, with Doctor Marshall and the Mad Doc Family behind the production. The set runs seven tracks deep and brings together Anthony B, Capleton, Chukki Starr, Fargo Voice, Garnett Silk, Luciano, and Sizzla and Spectacular. Garnett Silk’s Hard Nut To Crack gives the riddim its name, while Capleton’s Say What You Want and Luciano’s I Know Jah add strong weight on the conscious side. It’s a tight late-90s cut with a rootsy edge and a lineup that mixes established names with sharp one-off voicings.
