Hustler Riddim – Black Scorpio

Produced by Black Scorpio in 2000, Hustler Riddim pulls together a strong dancehall line-up led by Elephant Man’s Bon Dem, alongside Pinchers, Ninja Ford, Paul Elliott, Anthony B, General B, Jah Thunder, Roundhead, and Zebra. The rhythm’s raw, hard-driving feel suits the era well, with Elephant Man’s cut giving the release one of its best-known moments and Jack Scorpio’s label keeping the track selection tightly focused on street-ready energy. It’s a 14-song set in the version later issued by Black Scorpio Records, and the mix of seasoned voices and sharper-edged newcomers gives the riddim a lively, early-2000s Kingston snap.
