Late-1984 roots-flavoured fashion, Hypocrites Riddim pulls together a striking mix of vintage and later cuts around one of reggae’s most reused foundations, with the title track tied to Al Campbell and the classic Bob Marley and The Wailers cut adding real weight to the set. The compilation brings together names like Black Euphony, Don Angelo, Dillinger, Courtney Melody, Bushman, Capleton and Anthony Cruz, so it moves from old-school selection into later dancehall interpretations without losing the original feel. The tracklist also includes dub versions, including Hypocrites Dub and Version Hypocrite, which fits the deeper, studio-driven character of the riddim. Associated production names such as King Jammy, Coxsone Dodd, Joe Gibbs, Errol Thompson, The Wailers, Sonia Pottinger and Joe Hookim point to the broad studio lineage behind a rhythm that has clearly travelled across eras.
