Letter To Rosie Riddim – Black Scorpio

Black Scorpio keeps this one lean and sharply focused: just three cuts, with General Trees riding “Gone A Negril, ” Martin Scoth flipping the title idea into “Carta A Rosi, ” and Yellowman turning in “Letter To Rosie. ” Coming in around 1986, it sits right in that fertile mid-’80s Black Scorpio run when Jack Scorpio was still shaping a tougher, DJ-friendly sound that leaned hard into dancehall immediacy rather than big, crowded sets. The track list says a lot about the label’s ear too — General Trees and Yellowman were both natural fits for that era, while Martin Scoth’s Spanish-language take adds a small twist without breaking the mood. It’s a compact piece of the Black Scorpio catalogue, the kind of riddim that shows how the label could make a simple idea feel stamped with personality.
