Hot-A-Tac Riddim – Hot-A-Tac Music

Rough-edged and money-minded, Hot-A-Tac Riddim leans into early-2000s dancehall with a sturdy crew of voices circling the same cut, and the hook is right there in the titles: Capleton on “A-B-C, ” Elephant Man on “Secret Admirer, ” Sizzla on “Life Is For Living, ” plus Lukie D, Determine, Trinity and Hot Shot Crew all threading different hustler and lover-man angles through the groove. The set keeps the usual version ride at the end, so you get the vocal run followed by the bare rhythm in sequence, which makes the whole thing feel like a proper sound-clash tool as much as a showcase. Hot-A-Tac Music handled the production, and the release is listed to 2003, with nine tracks in all.
