Ill Na Na Riddim – East Coast

Produced by East Coast in 1997, Ill Na Na Riddim pulls together a sharp slice of late-’90s dancehall with Anthony B, Beenie Man, Mad Cobra, Merciless, and the Monster Shock Crew among the key voices on the cut. The juggling has a lively, street-level feel, and the Beenie Man selections My Girls Dem and Sister Dawn help anchor the set alongside Future Troubles’ Nuh Deh Pon It and the crew tune Ill Na Na. Greensleeves issued the project as Ill Na Na EP 1 and EP 2 that May, and Aiden Jones is credited on the label listing, tying the riddim to one of the era’s busy production pipelines.
