Icepick Riddim – Vp Records

1999 dancehall brought a busy VP Records juggling board with the Icepick Riddim, a roots-to-hardcore set that pairs Capleton’s Hands Off, Lexxus’ No Problem, Merciless’ Alright, and Elephant Man’s Evil Plan with cuts from Alozade, Danny English, Hawkeye, and others. The lineup leans into late-90s bashment energy, with several combinations adding extra bounce, including Egg Nog and Alley Cat on What Am I Going To Do and Singing J and Elephant Man on Wave Yu Hand. VP Records was already a major force in the era, and this one fits that period’s polished, heavily voiced dancehall style while keeping the rhythm’s sharp, driving feel front and center.
