Icky All Over Riddim – Jammy’s

Prince Jammy’s 1985 Icky All Over Riddim on Jammy’s captures that mid-80s digital shift he was shaping in Kingston, with Tonto Irie’s Life Story and Wayne Smith’s Icky All Over carrying the version in two of its key cuts. It sits neatly in the same era as Jammy’s early computer-driven dancehall, when the producer was pushing stripped-back drum machine energy and sharp basslines that would soon define the label’s output. The riddim has that lean, immediate feel that made Jammy’s releases so easy to recognize in the dance, and the two-track lineup keeps the focus on the groove rather than the clutter.
