Majority Rule Riddim – Jimmy Riley Production

Majority Rule produced by Jimmy Riley, Bunny Striker Lee for Unknown Label in 1983

Jimmy Riley’s Majority Rule Riddim, issued in 1983 and linked here to Bunny Lee production, lines up Don Carlos’ True Tribulation, Jimmy Riley’s title cut, Papa Tullo’s Ride The Rhythm, and dub work from The Aggrovators and The Revolutionaries. It leans into that early-’80s roots sound, with strong vocal cuts balanced by heavyweight instrumental and dub versions, and the Don Carlos song is one of the key pulls on the set. Jimmy Riley’s own Majority Rule sits at the center of the project, with Bunny Lee’s hand giving the riddim that classic Kingston edge and a clean, sturdy groove that ties the versions together.
