Hot Girls Riddim – 321 Strong (more)

Hot Girls Riddim – 321 Strong is a 1998 dancehall set that keeps things tight with just three cuts: Arp’s Be Long In My Heart, B. u. d’s West Indian Girl, and Chuck Turner’s Buff Beh. Produced by 321 Strong, it plays like a concise little late-90s selector’s piece rather than a sprawling compilation, with each artist getting room to ride the rhythm cleanly. Chuck Turner brings the most recognisable name in the lineup, while the other two tracks add a nice mix of lovers and dancehall flavour. The release is also known as Matress Aka Hot Girls Riddim, which helps explain why it turns up in rare ragga dancehall circles.
