Hardcore Riddim – Steely And Clevie

Hardcore Riddim came through in 1993 from Steely and Clevie, one of the duo’s hard-driving dancehall productions from the era when their name carried serious weight in Jamaican music. The cut list pulls in Capleton’s Buggering, Spragga Benz’s Girls Hooray (Hey Ho), General Degree’s Dweet Sweet, and sharp entries from Captain Barkey, Frankie Sly and Powerman, with a clean version from Steely and Clevie closing it out. The riddim has that rugged early-’90s sound that sat right at the center of the digital dancehall push, and the mix of fast-talking style, streetwise subjects and memorable hooks gives it real bounce.
