Matress Aka Hot Girls Riddim – 321 Strong

Produced by 321 Strong in 1998, Matress Aka Hot Girls Riddim is a six-track dancehall set with Alley Cat, Big Star, Cutty Ranks, Ninja Ford, Thriller U, and Virgo on the lineup. The cut list moves from Alley Cat’s Dont Care and Cutty Ranks’ Wuk Dem Hard to Virgo’s Hot Girl, with Thriller U’s Come Back bringing a smoother edge to the riddim. 321 Strong keeps the focus tight here, and the mix of deejays and singers gives the release a varied but firmly late-90s dancehall feel.
