Hitchkok Riddim – M.M.C Productions

Back in 2005, dancehall was deep in that remix-heavy, sound-system-minded phase, and the Hitchkok Riddim lands right in the middle of it with a tight four-track run from M. M. C Productions. Bounty Killer opens with “Chrome Baretta (Remix), ” then Capleton takes two swings at the rhythm with “Fire Badness (Remix)” and “Unknown (Remix), ” before Elephant Man closes with “Get Mad Now (Remix). ” The line-up leans on three artists who knew how to cut through a raw, no-nonsense riddim, and Capleton’s double appearance gives the set its sharpest edge. Sequenced like a compact showcase rather than a crowded compilation, the order keeps the energy moving from Bounty Killer’s menace to Capleton’s fire and into Elephant Man’s finishing push.
