I Can See Clearly Now Riddim – Roof International

Released in 1993, I Can See Clearly Now Riddim is a Roof International dancehall cut built around Courtney Cole’s production and a strong early-90s lineup. The juggernaut combo is Garnett Silk and Yasus Afari on I Can See Clearly Now, alongside Apache Scratchie and Super Morris with Test Me Nuh, Chris Irie’s Flower Garden, Delly Melody and Little Hero’s Pretty Looks, Diplomat’s Badness, and Tony Rebel’s Wagganis. The rhythm also pulls in Thriller U, Prezident Brown, Nicodemus, Professor Frisky and Tony Curtis, and Jigsy King, giving it a mix of singjay energy, conscious lyrics, and straight dancehall grit. A version cut from Roof International rounds it out, and the riddim is also known as Soap, which ties it to one of Courtney Cole’s better-remembered productions.
