Mad Dem Riddim – Zola And Zola Records

Mad Dem Riddim from Zola And Zola Records surfaced in 1997 as a seven-track dancehall juggling with Anthony B, Bunny General, Commanche, General Trees, Ricky General, Star Time, and Tusty Melody on the lineup. Anthony B’s Money In Hand and Ricky General’s title cut are the key tracks here, while the set also includes Bunny General’s Something Inna Ur Heart and General Trees’ Ten Percent. The riddim sits in the middle of Zola And Zola’s 1990s dancehall output, a period that also produced other sound system-friendly projects from the label. Compact and artist-driven, it captures that late-90s reggae dancehall stretch where multiple voices shared one rhythm and kept the focus on the songs.
