Massive Resistance Riddim – Ras

Produced by RAS in 1993, Massive Resistance Riddim pulls together a strong roots-focused lineup with Beres Hammond and U-Roy on Putting Up Resistance, plus cuts from Brigadier Jerry, Half Pint, Jack Radics, Leroy Smart, Sugar Minott, and Yami Bolo. The rhythm is also known as Putting Up Resistance Riddim, which suits the project’s defiant, consciousness-heavy feel. Half Pint’s The System, Leroy Smart’s Poor Man Struggle, and Sugar Minott’s Center Of Attraction are among the standout selections, while Beres Hammond’s collaboration with U-Roy gives the set extra weight. As a RAS release, it sits comfortably in that early-90s era of clean production and strong vocal performances.
