Kolo Ko Riddim, first issued in 1989, is a dancehall juggling built around Clement Irie’s title cut and a run of late-80s cuts from Bunny General, Admiral Bailey, Alley Cat, Carl Meeks, and others. The project is credited across a wide circle of producers and labels, including Hugh James and Redman International, George Phang and Powerhouse, Rodney Price and Priceless, Phillip Burrell and Justice, Junior Reid and J. R. , King Jammy’s, Steely and Clevie, John John, Soljie Hamilton, Jeremy Harding, and more. It is also known as Tight Clothes Riddim and was created by Steely, Clevie, and Danny Browne, which helps place it firmly in the era when their sound shaped a lot of the genre’s rhythmic backbone.
