Mecca Riddim – East Coast Rec.

Produced by East Coast Rec. in 1996, Mecca Riddim pulls together a strong mid-’90s dancehall lineup with Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Lady Saw, Spragga Benz, Scare Dem Crew, Future Troubles, and Frisco Kid across a tough, fast-moving one-drop groove. The set includes Beenie Man’s Blackboard, Bounty Killer’s Model, Lady Saw’s You’ll Never Find, and the Bounty Vs. Beenie East Coast Mega Mix, which gives the release a battle-ready edge. A few catalog entries also tie tracks like General B’s Book We Out and Scare Dem Crew’s Ready Or Not to the same riddim, underlining how widely the rhythm circulated. East Coast’s Aidan Jones is credited on related listings, and the riddim sits squarely in the 1996 dancehall wave that favoured big names and quick lyrical clashes.
