Koloko- Riddim – J.R. Productions

Koloko Riddim by J. R. Productions brings together a strong 1996 dancehall line-up, with Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Junior Reid, Carl Meeks, Clement Irie, Donovan Champion, Junior Vibes and others voicing the same groove. The set runs from Beenie Man’s Any Pussy and Bounty Killer’s War Beyond The Stars to the Bounty Killer, Boom Dandymite and Daily Bread combination on Dunns River Fa, while Junior Reid’s Banana Boat Man and Sizzla’s Love Is Always There add extra weight to the selection. J. R. Productions keeps the riddim moving with a raw mid-90s dancehall feel, and the mix of heavyweight veterans and younger voices gives it plenty of energy. It’s a notable snapshot of the era, with Koloko landing as one of those hard-working riddims that helped define the sound of the year.
