Marvellous Riddim – Revue

Here’s a small two-track Revue job with Mega Banton front and center, and the title cut from Niney Speng and Anthony Ray hinting at that tough late-’90s dancehall pulse the label was known for. “Cry Fi U Body” is the one that jumps out first, with Mega Banton’s clipped delivery riding a spare, heavyweight groove, while “Marvellous” keeps the same raw, stripped framework and leans into the chant-style exchange between Niney Speng and Anthony Ray. It’s a very compact release, just two cuts, so the focus stays on the rhythm itself rather than any big lineup politics. The whole thing feels built for sound system play: dry drums, a nagging bass line, and vocals kept close to the beat, all moving at a mid-tempo pace that leaves plenty of room for the deejays to work.
