Keep It IN The Family Riddim – Cha Cha

Keep It In The Family Riddim sits in that early-’80s Jamaican zone where the groove is lean, tough, and built for dancers, with Bingy Bunny’s name carrying a lot of the weight here. Bingy Bunny, of course, was one of the key men in the Roots Radics, and that connection shows in the way the riddim keeps its pulse tight and unhurried. The 1982 Cha Cha production folds in three cuts only, which gives the set a stripped-down feel rather than a crowded showcase. You get the 12-inch Bingy Bunny cut upfront, the Morwells pairing with Bingy Bunny in an extended mix, and then The Roots Radics’ “Inforcer” closing it out like the instrumental anchor it is.
