Live On Riddim (2002) – Black Scorpio

Black Scorpio’s Live On Riddim arrives as a sharp 2002 sing-jay and roots-leaning showcase, with Jack Scorpio lining up Capleton and Luciano on “Never Want The Youth Dem Die” right at the top before moving through voices like Gentleman and Daddy Rings, Morgan Heritage, Mikey General, and Paul Elliott. The sequence keeps the energy steady, but it’s the final stretch that gives the set its shape: “No Love” from Prestige and the closing “Live On” version/dub cut underline the riddim’s framework without crowding out the songs. The cast runs 15 cuts deep on the database listing, though the notes here trim it to eight core tracks. Capleton, Luciano, and Morgan Heritage carry some of the heaviest moments, and the Black Scorpio imprint is all over the arrangement.
