Keep On Trying produced by Big Youth for Unknown Label in 1975
Keep On Trying Riddim, originally released in 1975, is a Big Youth production with a tight four-tune selection that pairs Leroy Smart’s Keep On Trying with Big Youth cuts like Dread High Ranking, Hotter Fire, and Jah Man Of Syreen. The set leans into a strong deejay-and-vocal balance, with Big Youth using the same rhythm to carry both his own cuts and Smart’s smoother lead vocal. It also shows how central Big Youth was to mid-’70s Jamaican recording, with this rhythm turning up across several of his releases from the period and later being recognized as one of his key riddim works.
Keep On Trying Tracklist:
- Big Youth – Dread High Ranking
