1987’s Kuff Riddim is a classic Jammy-era dancehall version that came out across a wide circle of labels and producers, with King Jammy at the center and links to names like Witty, Patrick Roberts, Hugh James, Harry J, Sugar Minott, Doctor Dread, Bobby Digital and Buju Banton. The lineup runs through artists such as Admiral Bailey, Brigadier Jerry, Cocoa Tea, Courtney Melody, Cutty Ranks and Buju Banton, and the track history stretches from late-’80s cuts to later versions like Cutty Ranks’ Blood On The Corner and Buju Banton and Pinchers’ Without You. Often tied to Jammy’s Waterhouse sound, the riddim is one of those patterns that kept resurfacing well beyond its original 1987 run.
