Lazy Body Overview

The Lazy Body Riddim yard session tape is a strong example of 1980s dancehall, where hardcore deejay energy meets smooth reggae vocals. This session blends different styles, showing off the talents of several key artists and the skill of Black Scorpio Records as producer. Al Campbell’s “Come A Me” brings a classic roots sound, his voice gliding smoothly over the riddim. In contrast, Early B’s “What A Agony” is full of witty lyrics and a rapid-fire deejay flow, adding a raw energy that was popular in yard sessions of the time. Barry Back’s “Horseman Attack” keeps the vibe lively, with a direct delivery that fits the bashment style. The combination of Echo Minott X Ricky General on “Lazy Body” stands out, with both artists trading lines and keeping the groove moving. General Tree’s “Every Man Live” and King Everald’s “Hot Country Gal” both add unique flavors, each artist bringing their own approach to the riddim. Flashy B’s “Weed Seed Seed” is another highlight, keeping the session fresh. Black Scorpio Music’s “Lazy Body Version” and Kele Sound Station’s “Lazy Body Riddim Mix” give listeners a chance to enjoy the instrumental side, focusing on the driving percussion and deep bass. Johnny Clark’s “Black Scorpio Music” pays respect to the label’s influence. Compared to other yard session tapes from the era, Lazy Body Riddim stands out for its polished sound and seamless blend of vocal and deejay cuts. The bashment arranger’s role was key, making sure each track flowed naturally into the next. Black Scorpio Records, founded in 1986, is known for shaping the sound of dancehall with projects like this, and their impact is still felt today. This bashment flow remains a vital part of dancehall history.
