Matey Anthem Riddim – Steely X Clevie

Matey Anthem Riddim by Steely and Clevie is a 1996 dancehall set that leans on a sharp, stripped-back groove and a short, memorable tracklist led by Buccaneer’s Hotter This Year and Daddy Screw’s Dath, with the various-artists cut carrying the riddim’s own name. Steely and Clevie, the production duo behind the project, were already major forces in 90s Jamaican dancehall, and this release fits neatly into their run of lean, punchy rhythm work. The combination of a handful of key voices and a tight instrumental feel gives the riddim its character, making it a compact snapshot of mid-90s dancehall energy.
