Like A Dragon Riddim – Jammy’s

Prince Jammy’s Like A Dragon Riddim, cut for Jammy’s in 1985, is a tight two-track set with Wayne Smith’s Like A Dragon and a dub version, and it sits right in the early digital dancehall era that Jammy helped push forward. Wayne Smith’s name is central here, and the riddim is tied to the same run of recordings that fed into the Sleng Teng period, which makes this one especially interesting for fans of that breakthrough sound. With only two cuts, it keeps the focus on the groove and the bassline, and the Wayne Smith tune is the clear lead track.
