Haunted Riddim – Annex X Yaga Yaga X Irie Negril

Haunted Riddim – Annex X Yaga Yaga X Irie Negril 1996

Haunted Riddim is a 1996 dancehall cut from the Annex/Yaga Yaga/Irie Negril camp, and it brings together a strong mid-90s lineup with Boom Dandimite and Harry Toddler on Boy Like Me, Lady Saw on Woman We Name, Mad Cobra on It’s So Good, Merciless on So Many Girls and Suzzy, plus Richie Stephens, General B and Scare Dem Crew. The set also includes the instrumental Haunted version and a few of the era’s sharper voice combinations, which gives it a lively, street-level feel throughout. The riddim is widely linked to Dave Kelly’s Xtra Large side of the era, and the title track’s shadowy, spooky naming fits the rough dancehall energy of the period.
