Justice Riddim (2005) – Yellow Moon Productions

Jamaica’s mid-2000s dancehall circuit was still in full swing when Yellow Moon Productions cut Justice Riddim in 2005, and the set catches that moment with a sharp, street-level energy rather than any polished gloss. Beenie Man’s “Exdous” and Elephant Man’s title cut anchor the riddim with that quick-fire, party-hostile swagger both artists were trading on then, while Vybz Kartel’s “Can’t Find My Gun” pushes the darker side of the project into sharper focus. Around them, Capleton, Spice, Macka Diamond, and Delly Ranks keep the pressure on, which makes the whole thing feel like a proper dancehall roundtable. It’s also one of those sets where the edit/raw pairings on “Gal Yuh Pum Pum Tight” and “Real Gangster” add a little extra muscle.
