Heart Beat Riddim (1996) – Thomas Records X Pyramid International

Heart Beat Riddim is a 1996 dancehall release from Thomas Records and Pyramid International, with just two cuts on the juggling: Vicious’ Ghetto People and Don Yute’s This Year. It is a small but pointed set, and both songs keep the focus tight on mid-90s ragga style. Don Yute was already carving out a strong run in dancehall around that period, while Vicious brings the tougher street-side edge that helps the riddim land with weight. With only two tracks, it plays more like a focused showcase than a sprawling compilation, which gives the production a clean, direct feel.
