Heavy Rock Riddim brings together a long run of cuts built on a classic foundation, with the archive tracing it back to 1969 and listing production across names like Coxsone Dodd, Bunny Striker Lee, Joe Gibbs, Phillip Fanna, Donovan Germain, and Digital-B. Beenie Man’s Accident, Beres Hammond’s Do The Right Thing, Brian and Tony Gold’s By Your Side, and Cocoa Tea’s Jamaica Sweet are among the better-known selections in a set that also runs through Anthony B, Culture, Chezidek, and Anthony Cruz. The riddim’s history stretches across Studio One-era roots and later digital and lovers rock interpretations, which helps explain why it has stayed in circulation through so many labels and producers over the years.
