Hucks Riddim – Jammys Records

Jammys Records’ Hucks Riddim from 1997 pulls together a tight five-track dancehall set with Daddy Screw on New Clothes, Galaxy P on Fat So Eeh, Gregory Isaacs on Why, Hucks on the instrumental, and Lexxus Buss A Buss on Buss A Buss. With only five cuts, it keeps the focus on a small but strong lineup, and the presence of Gregory Isaacs gives the riddim an especially notable crossover feel beside the dancehall names. The release sits squarely in the mid-’90s Jammys lane, where King Jammy’s productions were still shaping the sound of Jamaican dancehall with sharp, stripped-back rhythms and quick lyrical swaps.
